Anonymous participant You'll still select a foreign country because they don't allow you to select Thailand! It's not an option. You simply choose the country you departed from, your passport country, a country you've lived in, whatever, anything but Thailand.

Your visa type has no bearing on what country you can choose as an option on the online form. I've done it, others have gone through it and saw it for themselves. Thailand isn't included.

@Jeremy ********

I do that on the TM6 form, they couldn't care less about that field. You can even leave it blank.

On THIS form, it doesn't matter what visa you hold, Thailand is NOT an option. It doesn't even appear in the list of countries at all. So you can't add it!

Anonymous participant That would make sense, but Thailand doesn't make sense.

@Allan *************

Yes, because the people who designed the form don't like foreigners and view us all as tourists, regardless of what visa we're on or how long we've lived here. It has nothing to do with the DTV at all.

@Donna *****

If he had residency, he still would have to select a foreign country for his "country of residence" as Thai immigration views ALL foreigners as tourists that can't possibly be residents of the Kingdom.

Anonymous participant 881 Thailand will NOT care about what it says there. Singapore might have, but I've always put Thailand on my TM6 form without incident.

Unfortunately, regardless of what visa you hold, you can't enter Thailand as your country of residence. Only a foreign country. Just put any random country down, your passport country or the country you departed from.

@Wannikea ********

It doesn't matter what visa you hold. Fill out the form and you'll find out for yourself that you can't select Thailand as a country of residence as a foreigner! I agree with you that you can enter any country - whether it's one of your passport countries (many of us are dual nationals) or the country you are departing from, a country you hold a long-term visa in (other than Thailand) or any random country you want. That information is one of the least important fields on the whole form.

A permanent residency visa confers permanent residence in Thailand BUT that's not the point! You can be a resident of some country without being a permanent resident.

Regardless though, ALL foreigners can ONLY select a foreign country when they're filling out this form. Permanent residents are also required to fill it out. People like you also. It doesn't matter what visa you hold, which is the most ridiculous part, but hey, that's Thailand for you.

@Ciaran ********

It doesn't matter - it's a case of self-declaration and regardless of what visa you hold, you can't select Thailand as your country of residency using this form.

Anonymous participant Thailand considers all foreigners in the Kingdom to be tourists, that's what it comes down to, NOT based on your visa.
