TLDR : Answer Summary
Starting May 1st, expats filling out the TDAC will notice that Thailand is no longer an option in the place of residence column. Community members suggest several approaches: 1) use your country of passport as the address, since non-permanent residents are not considered residents of Thailand; 2) put the address you were residing at before arriving in Thailand; or 3) you might end up not filling anything in if you are uncertain. Many emphasize that the form doesn’t apply to Thai citizens or permanent residents, and that the regulations may have a significant impact on those with non-immigrant visas.

The address you were residing at prior to arriving? As it's an arrival card perhaps those arriving from their country of passport could use that? I have to fill one in and often struggle with on line forms. Is it best to use a laptop/pc?
I'm aware of that. I am questioning the website and the options they provide (or rather the omitted options). Not to mention the poor ambiguous grammar they've used.
it's very possible that it's intentional that it's not on there, as you are not a resident of Thailand, and anyone that needs to fill out the form is not a resident of Thailand.
Yes, it says all non-Thais must complete the form. I have PR so my country of residence is Thailand, but as that might not an option on the form I guess I’ll put my passport issuing country.
You seem to acting up. You put the passport that your visa is in. End of story. I've been living in Thailand for 15 years but like 99% of foreigners on a short term visitor's stamp
Seems outback people have greater intelligence than Germans! We don't struggle with simple online forms. There again,with your history I can understand it
It's possible they will add Thailand as an option, as they never validated the paper form and you could put Thailand there. But it's also possible they don't add it, as the only "residents" of Thailand are people with Permanent Residence. Everyone else is on a non-immigrant visa/extension and is considered a guest. At that point you would need to put another address, most easily would be one to match your passport. It's not like they can validate a foreign address.
, will have to wait and see i guess as all my stuff lists here? Work Permit, Visa and everything else so I guess if Thailand isn't an option I will just add a fake one?
yes they can as long as you have lived in Australia as a resident for the last 10 years and have been in Australia for the last 5 years more then 6 months of the year prior to 67
