Passport "Place of issue". For my Australian passport, I always say "Australia". Even though the passport is given to me from Aus Embassy in Tokyo, but they come from Canberra.
My daughter and wife, their Thai passports are issued by The Thai Royal Consulate in Osaka, they also come from Bangkok, they always say Thailand. That is why it takes 2 weeks. My daughter has Aus passport, Tokyo, she also says "Australia" as the place of issue. Her new Thai passport was issued by The Royal Thai Consulate in Sydney (that is where she lives) and still Thailand as the place of issue. The passport came from Bangkok.
