Thailand trip checklist
- Before you fly: create your account, verify with your passport and choose a card. The virtual card goes live instantly once your passport KYC is approved and can go straight into Apple Pay or Google Pay. If you want the physical card, order it early: delivery takes up to 72 hours.
- Fund it with USDT before you leave and check your balance in the app. There is no need to convert to baht first, because Blonix Circle converts only the USDT you spend at checkout.
- At shops and 7-Eleven: tap your phone or your physical card.
- For rides, food and shopping apps such as Grab, Lazada and Shopee: add the card as your payment method.
- At the ATM: use any Visa ATM. When the machine offers to convert the amount into your home currency, choose Thai baht (THB), and check the screen for any fee from the ATM owner before you confirm.
- Stay safe: set limits and alerts, and freeze the card in one tap if you lose your phone or wallet.
Which card should I take?
Take both if you can. The virtual card ($10) works online and in your phone wallet as soon as it is activated. The physical Visa Platinum card ($100) is the one for ATM cash and for shops that need a card in hand.
What it costs
- Virtual card: $10 one-time. Instant activation, Apple Pay & Google Pay, online and in-app payments.
- Physical Visa Platinum card: $100 one-time. Works at all Visa ATMs and is delivered within 72 hours to 180+ countries.
- Custom design card: $199. Your own artwork or photo printed on the Visa Platinum card.
There are no monthly fees. Read the Cardholder agreement for the limits and fees that apply to your card.
