Well, if their requirements become unreasonable, foreigners will leave and those who have trips planned will cancel them, then Thailand will start crying again as happened last time during 2023 when they tried to introduce a vaccine mandate, which was quickly reversed within 24 hours but only because farang were complaining.

I'm replying to what he wrote because I've actually looked at the new online form and filled it out and thus I know for a fact that ALL foreigners, regardless of visa type have to choose a foreign country as their country of residence.

@John *********

No, it doesn't rule out most of us. You're living in Thailand regardless of whether you're on a temporary visa or not.

@John *********

Everyone has / had to fill out a TM6 regardless of their visa status. Thais are exempt.

Nothing happens at the border. You're making things up.

Well, this form is further confirmation that there is a growing rift between foreigners and locals. Integration will be even more difficult as there is now going to be additional paperwork associated with each and every entry into the Kingdom that locals don't need to worry about.

Then the ETA (not applicable for visa holders) and the 300 Baht foreigner tax. These two will come soon...

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.
