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.

@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.
