TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about what to put as their country of residence on the new digital arrival card for Thailand, as they are living in Thailand but unsure if it qualifies as their residence. Community responses suggest that residents should list their home country (passport issuing country) or Thailand if that option becomes available, as it generally won't affect entry. Additionally, users commented on the application process for the digital arrival card.
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 tdac.in.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.

When can I apply for the digital arrival. I've tried to apply but haven't been able to complete

Country of residence is the country where you currently live on a legal basis with a residence permit

Place of residence is your passport issuing country I would think

Honestly, it doesn't really matter. If you put it to match your passport it will be fine, and if you put it to Thailand once they add that as an option before it's deployed.

If it allows you to enter Thailand, then do that. Otherwise just put your passport country.
