What should I do if I'm getting an error while filling out the TDAC form for Thailand after only being in the USA?

Trying to fill in TDAC on line form for return to Thailand from USA. I continually get error message when answering what countries I have been in the last 2 weeks. I have only been in USA, but USA is not being accepted. I have tried different browsers and have rechecked all info. I am on retirement vis in Thailand. Any suggestions? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat facing issues filling out the TDAC form for re-entry to Thailand is unable to list the USA as a visited country, despite being there for the last two weeks. Comments suggest checking for fake TDAC sites, leaving the country field blank or marking it as 'NONE' if no other countries were visited, and trying secure links from official Thai embassy websites.
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.

TRUSTED TDAC LINKS:

Official Government TDAC Form: tdac.immigration.go.th
Official TDAC form by AGENTS

The answer is NONE....leave it blank. You haven't visited any other countries.

If you're from the US and in the US do you need to put it down as a country visited?

aha the wording is "where you stayed" not visited.

Makes more sense

You don't need to add unless it's got an asterisk on the box.

Be cautious of fake TDAC sites! For a secure link, visit your Thai embassy's website and look for the official TDAC page.

I ran into that same thing. The problem went away when I completed the form less than 72 hours before my scheduled ARRIVAL in Thailand. Not three days before my scheduled departure from the US

You can use ours which is also free, but does not have these types of errors.
