Mick 1 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Has anyone any information on the closure of PayPal accounts to foreigners in Thailand requiring a 13-digit Thai national ID card to remain open. Can a foreigner use a driving license or national insurance number or is it strictly only Thai nationals. Cheers M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Believe you also have to have a registered business in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Hornblower Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 You can use the 13 digit number you were given for your Covid registration. I used this and it was accepted but I eventually decided to close my Paypal account as I only use it in association with my UK bank account and that is no business of Thai authorities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick 1 Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Oh, ok I will try that, I only use it for E Bay so should work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) It will not work - the number must be verified and only Thai citizen numbers are eligible. Many threads on this subject. https://aseannow.com/topic/1277414-paypal-no-longer-available-to-foreigners-in-thailand/ Edited November 12, 2022 by lopburi3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a registered business and a 13 digit id number. My account was closed. The id number was rejected. It was the same for a couple of friends that also have registered businesses here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote We are using the National Digital ID (NDID) platform As only Thai nationals can get an DNID and as it is used for all personal accounts you, and all non Thai nationals are SOL. Quote To enroll in NDID, a Thai national ID is currently required. No pink cards or anything but a Thai national ID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivas Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Talking about Paypal in general Dont ever forget to update a mobile number before the old one is taken out of service lol I've just spent 34 minues on the trumpet to them trying to gain access to an 18 year old account. Log in name and password obvious lol but then it wants to "confirm" its you lol (fair enough) Welcome to a world of issues if you cant access that old number lol !! Did it in the end but dear oh dear !! ( my fault I acknowledge) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
