Thai Visa Visa Application Address Issues Bank Statement Irish Passport UK Address Expats in Thailand

Hi guys, I'm almost finished the online application to Jakarta from Bali. Please I have a question if anyone can advise: 

My bank statement address is from UK as I lived in London for many years but my passport is Irish and my home address is listed as my Irish home address.

Will this create a problem? 

I could easily change my home address to match the UK bank statement address but will they then question why my home address is UK but passport is Irish? 

Would matching addresses be better or is having an Irish home address better? 

Ugh I'm so confused thank you in advance for any advice which is better🙏🙏🙏

Thank you🤗

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is applying for a visa and is confused about whether to use their UK address, which matches their bank statement, or their Irish address as stated in their passport. They express concerns about potential issues arising from mismatched addresses. Comments suggest using one address for consistency, with a preference for the UK address to avoid confusion, while also noting that a Thai bank account is acceptable.

It's a bank account in your name, that is the only requirement.

Thanks guys, yes I'll put the UK address as"home" and add the Irish address as "permanent address".

I stupidly put my Bali hotel name as "home" originally 😂😭I was confused and thought they meant where I am right now. But I thinki don't need to add the Bali hotel address right?

I uploaded that hotel booking seperatly as part of the proof of current location along with visa receipt, e-visa on arrival document, boarding pass, exit stamp from Thailand, and a selfie in front of the arrivals TV screen in Bali airport showing the date😂😝 hopefully they accept that as I didn't get a stamp in my passport on arrival 😨🤣🙏

The Thai embassy covers Ireland and UK, so I don't think it would cause a problem. Possibly better to use one address to avoid confusion (the UK one), and use the bank statement as proof of funds and proof of address

Should I apply for my Thai visa at the UK embassy or in South-East Asia?

Can I use my son's address in the UK on my e-visa application for Thailand if all my documents show his address?
