ORIGINAL POSTER

Has anyone dealt with the issue of their city not being listed in the drop down menu of the city options  for permanent address within the DTV online application process? Aside from writing a cover letter, I'm not sure what else I can do and am concerned of a potential rejection for that reason.  I will be applying  online via Jakarta.

They seek advice on how to handle this issue without risking application rejection. Commenters suggest using the nearest available district or selecting the province instead of the specific city, citing their own experiences to reassure the OP.

I very much doubt they would care what address you put down. That's the most basic piece of information. As long as you write your name correctly and all other proofs you are asked to supply are attached, you should be fine.

I did for in Australia we live in the Perth hill's and our suburb isn't listed, so I just selected the shire from the drop down box, I'm still waiting for approval, but they no longer asking me for extra documents etc, so that must have been ok

What do you mean? It might "not" be a city in Thailand. For example, I just found out that Hua Hin is not a city when filling my application. For all practical matters, it is, but on the paper it's a I don't remember what (thambon?) under Prachuap Khiri Khan province.

what is the district, sub-district and province you live in (directly off your address) The city on the DTV is usually set to province NOT city for example Jomtien/Pattaya pick Chonburi as the city) 😛

Tod Daniels my town is unincorporated, which is most likely why it isn't listed. The postal code is not going to match any other nearby towns.
