What type of document is acceptable to indicate my current location for a Thai visa application, and does my driver's license need to match my current address?

when they want a documment indicating current location does this mean they want a physical copy of a bank statement or can it be digital?

My second question is if my drivers license has a different address which is Florida and I'm living in Montana where my bank statement address is, is this okay?

1. Document indicating current location (driving license, bank statement, or proof of stay)
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the acceptable forms of documentation to indicate your current location for a Thai visa application. Users suggest that both physical and digital copies of bank statements might be acceptable, but emphasize that documents like driver's licenses or utility bills are commonly used and accepted. Additionally, it is noted that having an address discrepancy between your driver's license and the current residence (as long as valid documents are provided) generally does not pose issues for obtaining a NON-O visa.

Anonymous participant About a year ago. This requirement has never changed though so it doesn't matter. You'll apply through the LA embassy, just like me, and my app was approved in like 4 days.

I also used bank statements downloaded from my online portal as I was traveling for years prior to applying and dont even receive paper copies anymore (Full paperless).

My legal address is now my folks place in AZ, which is on all my accounts now, and I used my DL with the address listed from my house I had already sold months prior. I updated my DL during the same trip in which I applied for the visa, since it was the first time possible for me, but I hadn't received the new license yet and just used my existing one. No problems

Use your driving licence, council tax or a recently dated utility bill. Personally i use my driving licence as it has my photo, name, dob and address. Never had an issue using it for many Non-O visas over the last 5 years.
