ORIGINAL POSTER

I am half Thai (I have thai ID, passport) and helping my wife to apply for 3 months Non-O immigrant visa, are these options correct to apply the e-visa? What confuses me is the purpose of visit option says Thai Family (me as a husband?) residing in Thailand. However I "haven't" reside yet, so we only will stay in AirBnb first. Am I on the right track? I cant find another better option to choose

TLDR : 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.

Yes you are right. She will reside with you. In Thai govt logic, you are always resident of Thailand even though you never stayed here. Permanent address is written on your Thai ID

If you have Thai passport, why do you want to apply visa? When you leave your current country use that passport when you enter Thailand show your Thai passport 😊
