What should I select for the country of residence when applying for the TDAC visa in Thailand?

TDAC, country of residency for nomads and perpetual travelers

For the TDAC application, I see there's an option "XXX: UNKNOWN" for country of residence.

Does anybody here entered thailand with this option? I'm a bit worried that this could cause unnecessary problems.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around the TDAC visa application for Thailand, specifically regarding the 'country of residence' option which includes an 'UNKNOWN' selection. Users recommend entering your passport country instead and not to worry about making an error if 'UNKNOWN' was selected by mistake. They suggest submitting a new TDAC application if needed.
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.

if it was selected by mistake, then just submit a new, fresh TDAC and correctly select the Country on a new, fresh TDAC
