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

TLDR : 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.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

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.
