What documents do I need to upload when applying for a Thai tourist visa online from the US?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi all, has anyone in the US successfully filled out a tourist visa online? I am confused by the last 4 questions requiring documents uploaded. I have tried contacting embassy for clarification but no reply.

7 . "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 have already uploaded my passport and filled out my address in previous sections. Is this question referring non US citizens only?

8. "Applicant is required to upload his/her passport pages which contain all travel records for the past 12 months (1 year) since the last international trip."

I have not done any international travel in the last 12 months. Do I just not upload anything?

9. Applicant must apply for e-Visa via specific Embassy/Consulate conforming with his/her consular jurisdiction and residency. Applicant is required to upload document that can verify his/her current residency.

What did you all use for this? I was thinking a photo of my drivers license?

10. "Please upload your picture holding the photo and information page of the passport."

Are they asking for me to take a picture of myself holding the passport bio page up?

Sorry if this seems kind of dumb but I am finding the wording of these questions confusing.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking assistance with the online application process for a Thai tourist visa, particularly in understanding the document upload requirements. They are unclear about the specific documents requested, especially those addressing legal residence, travel records, and personal identification. Other users provided clarity, suggesting that a driver's license or passport could serve as proof of residency and that blank pages of the passport might suffice for travel records. Additionally, a selfie holding the passport was confirmed as acceptable for the application.

If you are entering Thailand for 30 days or less, and hold a US Passport you don't need to apply for a visa.

It’s all kind of dumb. The same form is used by many visa type applications. For a tourist visa they’re not expecting you to know someone in Thailand. What they’re asking for 7. Is to prove you reside in the country your applying from. A copy of your passport should suffice. A copy of the last used page of your passport (with whatever stamp that may have) should suffice for proof of travel (or not during the last 12 months). 9. Passport should be good enough. 10. Yes a selfie of you holding your passport data page open. Clear enough that the information can be read.
