Hello everyone. Sorry but can people tell me what they added for proof of permanent residence in the country where the application is submitted? Is a passport sufficient? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
To prove permanent residence in Thailand, it's important to distinguish between applicants who are natives and non-natives. Natives are advised to upload their passport data page, while non-natives should provide documentation such as a permanent residency visa or equivalent document (like a Green Card for Americans). Some users suggest uploading additional documents, like a birth certificate, to further demonstrate citizenship.

It is usually a long term visa or work permit

I wasn't sure what exactly they wanted, since the US passport already uploaded should prove citizenship, so I just uploaded my US birth certificate for that one.

IF you're a native of the country you're applying within, you will re-upload your passport data ('picture') page. If you are NOT a native of the country, you would upload some type of permanent residency visa ("Green card" for Americans).

If you are not a native but you hold the citizenship of the country you're applying within, you're good too.

Just re-load the page. The Thai government won't be able to understand a tax bill or utility bill.
