Hello everyone - just wodnering - TDAC with DTV visa, country of residence

I have my long term DTV approved and have entered once without a problem (stayed 4 months).

I am renting an apartment long term and have my primary residence in Thailand, however I have not registered for taxes etc yet (I will).

I have an adress in Spain aswell.

So I wanted to know, on the TDAC, can I write that country of residence is Thailand or will I get in trouble?

Thanks in advance

Answer summary

The user inquires whether they can list Thailand as their country of residence on the TDAC form while holding a long-term DTV visa, given that they have a primary residence there but have not registered for taxes. Responses suggest that since a DTV visa does not confer residency status, it may be safer to indicate their original country of passport as their residence.

Honestly? It doesn’t matter. It’s like the old TM6. The information on it is just used to see who’s coming in and from where.

Yeah think of it like this , you’re not a resident of Thailand. I understand how you think but yeah DTV isn’t residency 🙏🏽

I always write I'm resident of my home (passport) country, even if I didn't live there 20+ years lol, it's more safe since I'm arriving on a Tourist visa, I'm not Thai resident.
