HI, 

I'm traveling around Europe, currently in Finnland and plan with my family to go to Thailand in Nov. 

Would need to apply for the DTV, but don't have a residency in no country. What would be your next steps?

You can just go without a visa and get 60 days, which you can extend for another 90 days.

And if you apply for the DTV, just write your home country as your residence.
