TDAC – A Friendly Clarification (and a Little Nudge)

A few days ago, I made a post about the Thailand Digital Arrival Card.

(The comment section has since been closed – not sure why).

Here’s the link to the original post:

And here’s the official update from TAT: 2 hours old.

> *“Long-term or permanent foreign residents in Thailand are advised to select ‘Thailand’ under ‘Country of Residence,’ which will be available once the system is activated.”*

So yes – Thailand was initially missing from the dropdown. That was an error, which I confirmed directly with TAT. It will be there when the system goes live.

In my own case – having previously held a NON-B visa and now holding a DTV – I am supposed to select Thailand as my country of residence, because I have my apartment here, live here, pay tax here, and is here 300+ days a year.

I must say it’s been amusing to read some of the confident “expert” answers in the group with things they don't know anything about.

So here’s a kind request:

Let’s try to stick to facts and official sources when giving advice – especially in a group where people rely on accurate information. Guessing can be fun, but it’s not always helpful. 😉

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

Updated TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) info

It says the system will go live the 28th of April 9so people arriving May 1st can apply before coming

AND

there will be a choice for selecting Thailand as country of residence

Morning all… I accessed the new TM06 online form to test it out as I will have to use this regularly in the future. However when it asks for country of residence Thailand is not an option. I live in Thailand but work overseas. It is easy enough to put in a different country and another phone number, but this is not applicable to everyone. Do we know if the form is still in development or do we have to use a different country of residence.

Can you put Address in Country of Residence the same address as proposed address in Thailand on the application form? I don't know if that would cause any issues? Should I put my Canadian address?
