Put the address of the house you are living

Ok to put thailand address? or needs to be outside thailand ?

I would tend to think that a consular officer expects to see an address outside of Thailand on a tourist visa application.

Absolutely

If you try and tell the Thai consul that you live in Thailand, but want a Tourist Visa,

then you may well be out of luck.

Bing ...............we have a winner

The last time I applied for a tourist visa I had already been in Thailand for 5 1/2 months and an agent did the application for me in Penang. He definitely had no foreign address of mine to enter on the form...all I did was sign the form, so I'm not sure what address he used. Maybe he used agent privilege.

tourist living in Thailand? cool...

i would write my hotel address.

I had a similar experience, but I assumed he just used the address written in my passport.

It is now past October 01 2006.

I just put an old address in the UK even though I don't live there anymore or have any claim to it. I have been working offshore for many years and holidaying in Thailand each time off and have no other "home" other than Thailand to go to!

What is the solution in cases like these?

I think you found it. Suspect many keep a postal forwarding service address these days - if no relatives they can use.

Now we apply for a tourist visa to get around more than 3 voa - when making the application , form requires permanent address . If we are in thailand permanently what address do you put?

If you separate the fact that 2 different addresses are requested, it will be clearer:

1. T.V. application form is your address overseas.

2. Arrival card (white) this is where you will be staying in Thailand.

Its a common problem that slips the mind - once in a while.

Just put down the Somerset Maugham suite at the Oriental Hotel!

I have never seen an address recorded in a Passport.

Some do. The US passport has always had a place to record your address and emergency contact information. But you do it yourself and keep it up to date that way.
