What document should I provide as proof of legal residence for my visa application in Thailand?
On the last page of my application from the UK, it asks for "Confirmation of legal residence in a country in which you are applying for the visa. (In case that you are not a national of the country in which you are applying for the visa.)"
I thought I would be exempt from needing to submit from the wording and that I've supplied my passport but what on earth do they want here? I can't proceed without attaching a document.
Help?
