Receive deposit back without bank account

Hi all. I've been using Wise for paying rent, deposit and such but Thailand is not supported as an account with acc number to receive money transferred from others.

So as my rental contract is ending, Im curious what are the options to receive back my deposit besides in cash (just in case) when I don't have a TL bank account (couldnt open)? If u have experienced this before please let me know.

Thank you in advance!

I unlocked advanced features of TrueMoney using my DTV, so I can make personal QR code payments. Does anyone know if there’s a limit on the number of free payments each month?

What are the alternatives to solve this that you can’t open a traditional bank account in Thailand?

Do they have neobanks that are easier to open?

I’m a freelancer and I just need to get paid somewhere, right now I have a balance account on the clients platform but that service only is deposit and I need to cash out those money to an Bank who have IBAN and who can give me virtual pay card so I can spend and use my money.

Please give me all tips and tricks. Thanks!

TrueMoney with DTV??? How are DTV people upgrading to the advanced plan? It looks like they only allow supporting documents by non-immigrant and student visas holders for the advanced plan. The basic plan does not allow “scan to pay”, so it’s essentially useless.

Hi friends, I am trying to submit my DTV documents to unlock my features on TrueMoney but when submitting my visa they ask my for workplace in Thailand, obviously since it is a DTV visa we aren't allowed to be working on Thailand. What do you do in this case?

Thank you for all the help 🙏

Hello. Can I sign up to TrueMoney while being in Thailand on a DTV visa? I want to get YouTube Premium at the reduced Thai price and TrueMoney is one of YouTube’s payment options. Would love to have a proper account set up but multiple attemps in the past did not work.

Has anybody managed to top up their Truemoney account with a foreign card?

If so how did you do it? 🤪

Bangkok Bank just closed my savings account because it is DTV. Tried SCB and Krunsgsti but they both said they do not take DTV as well. Any recommendations? I am currently using TrueMoney to pay bills.

Payment Options (w/o Thai Bank account)

This comes up a lot in the comments. Please do add or correct, but this info is correct based upon my own personal experience:

TagThai Pay&Tour

- Prepaid credit card

- Can only be loaded at (I think any) Kasikorn Exchange kiosk. (I did in Samui.) Contrary to some comments I've seen, I was able to do with THB, did not have to actually exchange currency.

- Cannot pay Personal accounts with QR code, so that's most small restaurants and shops out.

TrueMoney

- Top up by cash at any 7-11, Lotus, and various pay points.

- Some people have completed the additional verification by uploading a copy of DTV visa and entry stamp under the work permit section of documents. That then allows payment to personal QR codes.

- It's also handy for paying Electricity and Water. (Keeps the history.)

- I have not been able to top-up by credit card since additional verification, but others claim this is possible.

DeepPocket

- CAN pay personal QR code

Load by credit/debit card, cash at BigC or Lotus.

- Pricier fees than the other two.

- (Was recommended to me by a friend who's an expert in payments, so seems to have solid backers, but I'm not personally endorsing this or anything else.)

* Moreta Pay

- Can connect to US bank, do SEPA transfer, or UK Faster Payments, or credit/debit

- No personal QR codes

- Works in other Asian countries

I have the DTV visa. I'm trying to open a TrueMoney account on my phone.

It seems that TrueMoney is blocking foreigner registrations. When you click "scan passport" it fails. But when you click "scan local Thai ID card" it works without issue.

Can anyone confirm this?
