ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is half Thai and is assisting his wife with her application for a 3-month Non-O immigrant visa. He is confused about the options available for the e-visa application, particularly regarding the purpose of visit which refers to 'Thai Family'. Although he has a Thai ID and passport, he has not yet established residence in Thailand and plans to stay in an Airbnb initially. Commenters clarified that his status as a Thai citizen allows him to apply for the visa on behalf of his wife, as the Thai government considers him a resident based on his Thai ID.
