Quick answer
Your country of residence is the country where you currently have a residential mailing address. It is not always the same as your passport country, and you do not necessarily need to be physically present there when you complete the form.
What to do next
- Use your current residential mailing address as the basis for this answer.
- Do not automatically enter your passport country unless that is also where you live.
- If you live in one country but are temporarily travelling elsewhere, use the country where you normally reside.
- If the form asks for proof of residence, upload the document requested for that specific application.
Helpful details
- Passport country usually means nationality. Country of residence usually means where you live. Current location means where you are physically located at the moment. These are different fields and should not be mixed.
