it works when I get off the plane immediately. I have a US phone number for 2 factor authentication. If $69 for 365 days of service is massive then so is my pecker.

Airalo works fine for me. But I use a worldwide plan. $69.00 for 20gb data 365 days. Works in 140+ countries.

but true money is a bank account. It accepts international transfers, you store your money there , you can spend it on a debit card or QR code just like any other Thai bank. It’s just a modern bank without physical bank tellers.

@John *********

but what is the definition of that bank account. I have an account with a western fintech company called Revolut. It is considered a bank account. Is True Money classified as a bank account. You deposit money that is held in Thailand. I think this will actually work as a work around. I don’t need to do it so I won’t be the test dummy.

So I believe I have come up with a work around to the Thai bank account problem. Open a Thai fintech account like True Money. Deposit 65k every month via international transfer into the True Money account. I don’t see anywhere where it says that 65k monthly has to go into an actual bank. It just states you need to show proof of 65k in income.

Heck I don’t see why you couldn’t deposit 800k and use that also. To my mind True Money and similar apps are banks. Just a modern version.

not all countries get 60 day stamp. Some only get 30. But if you are from Russia you get a 90 day stamp.

You have plenty of time to apply for a tourist visa. Probably best to get a 6 month multi entry visa as much as you visit. Sometimes taking that extra step can help you sleep easier.

I think you got scammed. You can’t get a visa free exemption until you see the immigration agent at the airport or border.

You could apply for an actual tourist visa or other visa. Be back next week.

Anonymous participant 630 mentioning you are white is being racist. We are all people. If we were all blind people would you even think about skin color.
