Just get a Truemoney wallet, you can pay QR and pay bills etc. Only difference is you have to withdraw cash from an atm and then load it into your wallet via a Truemoney store machine (upto 20k) or via 7 Elven and Lotus (2k each per day limit).

Saves me and my wife a lot of hassle. Highly recommend it

Get Truemoney Wallet on your new phone, you can transfer to that with your Thai account and still use QR through the true wallet on your new phone but also true money. Doesn't fix still having to have your old phone, but its a workaround so you don't have to have your old with you when you need to pay for something.

You should be ok, I had a similar application, after showing proof it was enough. But I would ask your partner to write up something about the contract you have in place, just in case.

I recently discovered Truemoney wallet through the members in this group. It's a 100 times better than anything else out there in my opinion (apart from the Bank account itself) for being to pay with QR/Promptpay etc. Yeah only hassle is you still have to withdraw cash and then deposit into the wallet, but it's easy enough through True, Lotus and 7 Eleven

Perfect True Digital is just 5 mins from where I am, will visit tomorrow! Thanks

Brought my dog from Spain had to get a certificate of export from a vet and complete the Thai import forms. Was fairly straightforward, and no need for your dog to do visa runs, but you can always take the out with you, but I think you need to have some kind of certificate with proof of vaccinations

That's promising, my landlord called my nearedt SCB the other day and said to try them as they said they can take a look and probably can, they just want to see and make copies of DTV and Passport and send over to head office. That's the closest I have been to opening an account so far as everyone else had said no to DTV holders (from personally asking many branches in different malls).

@Greg *******

so strange, and DTV holders are not able to open Thai bank accounts by what I understand for the moment.

What a pain in the butt. Me and the missus were approved with Wise accounts 😅. So strange they're not accept g it for the extension. All the best with a border hop, will you go anywhere in particular?

That's interesting, I got my DTV in August also, and did a long weekend over in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Came back via Don Mueang also, this was middle of Feb. No issues, straight through.

Perhaps some extra checks are in place. I too am on remote work DTV
