Quick question regarding the "Place of issue" field in the e-Visa form.

The Norwegian passport doesn't have this exact phrasing. It only lists "Authority" (in my case: Sør-Vest politidistrikt) and "Code of issuing state" (NOR). What should I write in here? I see alot of conflicting information online and want to get it right. Thanks in advance!
Answer summary
In filling out the 'Place of issue' field for the Thai e-Visa form, if your Norwegian passport only mentions 'Authority' and 'Code of issuing state', it is generally acceptable to simply write the name of the issuing country, 'Norway'. Other users have reported success in using the country name instead of the specific authority details, as immigration authorities usually look for the issuing country information.

Write your country, it will be accepted in 99.999%. I also have only Authority field with weird code there but always write passport issuing country. My husband has Place of issue field with different city/country written, but we also put his country instead in visa form to be safe

Usually immigration just wants the issuing country/city information that appears in the passport authority section. If the passport only states Norway, many applicants simply use that.

You can write anything basically, 'NORWAY', is enough.
