Does anyone know if accommodation bookings are required for the entire stay when applying for a Thai Tourist Visa (TR), or if a booking for the first 1–2 weeks is sufficient? Asking for someone else. Thanks!
Answer summary
When applying for a Thai Tourist Visa (TR), it seems that the requirements for accommodation bookings can vary. Some applicants were asked to provide evidence for the entire length of their stay, while others reported that bookings for just the first week or couple of nights were sufficient. Booking accommodations with free cancellation options can be a flexible solution.
