What information should I provide in the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) as a DTV visa holder?

Hi everyone! I’m on the DTV visa (Workation category) and have a couple of quick questions about the new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC):

1. For “Country/Territory of Residence”, should I select Thailand if I rent an apartment here and live in Thailand full-time (no residence anywhere else)? Or should I still put my passport country?

2. For “Purpose of Travel”, is it best to select “Holiday”, since we don’t have a Thai work permit? Or is there a better option for DTV visa holders?

Have any of you entered Thailand after the TDAC was implemented while holding a DTV visa, and what did you do? If you have something else to recommend, please do let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the proper completion of the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) as a DTV visa holder. They seek advice on whether to list Thailand or their passport country as their country of residence, and which purpose of travel to select, suggesting 'Holiday' due to the absence of a Thai work permit. Responses indicate that one should list their passport country as residence and choose 'tourism' as the purpose to align with immigration norms.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Think of it in the simplest form possible, just as Thai immigration does. Put your home country as residence and tourism as reason. It's called "Workcation", which is a form of vacation.

Got it, it sounds like the best option for sure. Did you enter like this? I was hoping to find people here who have entered on a DTV while having filled in the new TDAC.

Also, is departure details OK to leave blank now for us DTV visa holders you think?
