Can a hotel provide documentation for a retirement visa in Thailand?

The original query inquired whether a hotel could provide necessary documentation to support a retirement visa application in Thailand, converting from a tourist visa. Responses indicated that a hotel typically cannot provide lease agreements, which are often required, and that obtaining a Thai bank account with the required funds (800,000 THB) can be challenging while on a tourist visa. Some users shared that letters from hotels can be used, but others pointed out that local immigration offices may have differing requirements, emphasizing the importance of checking directly with the relevant office before proceeding.
