I’m on a DTV and have TrueMoney advanced connected to my passport and Thai driver’s license. You don’t need a work permit. This is the easiest way to pay both personal and business QR that I’ve discovered.
When Moreta pay supports personal PromptPay codes, it will best TrueMoney with Advanced capability. For now, use the latter by augmenting with a Thai drivers license.
Moreta Pay is incredibly promising. They’re a Y-Combinator backed company and have excellent leadership. Just waiting for them to support personal PromptPay which should come soon. They support much more convenient top-ups too.
I chose “Holiday” because my 6-month cooking course is a lifestyle activity, not formal education. It doesn’t require an ED visa or academic credentials. This aligns with the DTV’s focus on cultural and wellness tourism.
