Anonymous participant 615 They are immigration, so safe to assume they want to know where your from in the legal sense (where you are legally a resident - even if you don't live there) not where you live on a tourist visa for a maximum of 6 months at a time. There is another section for your address in Thailand.

Anonymous participant 615 Sure, it's where you live, just not your residence in the legal sense.

Yes, you're getting into Thailand if you write your home country or Thailand anyway but I don't believe the DTV fulfils the definition of the term 'resident' as it would need to be permanent for that to be the case.

Neither do I but I don't consider myself a Thai permanent resident on a DTV (tourist visa) and neither does immigration. I will always put my home country as my 'residence' and my address in Thailand in the 'address in Thailand section' as the DTAC is about collecting information about you and technically everyone could write 'Thailand' as their residence even if coming for a few days in your reasoning.

address in Thailand is not 'country of residence' and not part of the question being asked.

When filling out your Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) to return to Thailand, you should list your home country as your country of residence. While you are residing in Thailand and have a long-term condo, your DTV visa does not confer official residency, and therefore, declaring Thailand as your residence could misrepresent your legal status.
