What is visanr
Answer summary
The term 'visanr' refers to the Visa Number, which is often confused with the Stay Permit number. Some users mention that the Stay Permit number is located in the upper left corner of the document and is not required for all forms, such as the TDAC. Alternatives for contacting the Thai Immigration Department were also discussed.

Same as with the TM6 Arrival card. You enter your Re-entry Permit number, or just leave it blank.

β€œTo contact the Thai Immigration Department in Bangkok, you can call the hotline at 1178. It is also suggested to check their official government website for additional information. Many users recommend using messaging apps like Facebook Messenger or Line for quicker responses. Visiting the office in person is another option, especially if you face challenges reaching them by phone or online.”

There is another option,😊

the STAY PERMIT number (it is not a "visa"!) is in the upper left corner! It's apparently

(not sure about the last "8") . . . . However you do NOT need to fill this number into the TDAC form, as "visa number" is NOT a mandatory field

it's not a visa, it's a re-entry permit, and the number is clearly written on it.

@Ste****
that's when AI is complete and utter nonsense. FIRST: he doesn't have any visa, he has a "stay permit" and this stay permit got a number - which is handwritten into the upper left corner. If ANY, then this number would be the correct one. However the field "visa number" is not mandatory, so he can leave it empty. The number you gave him is the number of the single re-entry permit !

β€œyou should use the number from your re-entry permit, which reflects your current valid status in Thailand. It's also clarified that the visa number is not a mandatory field in the TDAC form, so you may leave it blank if necessary.”

Yea because they don’t care what number you put there but it is not the visa number
