you'd think if it's accepted for the visa it would be accepted for the extension. It may be at other offices.

EDIT: thank you to everyone for confirming True Money does support PromptPay.

OP (incorrect): I don't think TrueMoney supports PromptPay which is the general Thai bank QR system supported by basically everyone. Vendors have to support TrueMoney specifically. This typically means larger retailers like 7-11, Lotus, etc, while PromptPay is much more universally supported including by smaller vendors.

there hasn't been a single report of this happening to anyone on the DTV. Most people turned away don't have a visa.

this group right here is specifically for people to ask questions like this. Someone posting here is attempting to educate themselves.

US Diversity Visa Lottery is an example of a visa you have to take up within a limited period or you lose it. It's a reasonable question, DTV although technically a tourist visa is a long term visa that allows remote work.

@I**

this is correct, it's business only. And in many cases, smaller merchants like street vendors may be using personal rather than business accounts, so this could impact you more than that sounds. I know a lot of the smaller places around here that use QR, it's a personal name and not a business.

@Jona****

just going off what you posted: "I’ve lived in Thailand for the past 5 years on a Non-Immigrant B visa." People have switched from non-immigrant to DTV, depending on circumstance DTV may be a better fit for them.

@Jonathan ********

if you're currently working on a non B you wouldn't qualify for a DTV, for what you're on your employer needs to be inside Thailand while for the DTV your employer needs to be very specifically not inside Thailand. Unless it's a job you can switch the employer to one outside Thailand, then DTV would be an option.

@Jonathan ********

you don't need a return flight with a non immigrant visa. If you have a non immigrant long term visa you don't need the DTV. What's not an option is continually border bouncing on tourist entries. Non immigrant B is not a tourist entry.
