Hello I'm trying to apply for the STV from the united states. For accommodation after the ASQ can I stay at my girlfriend's condo? If not can I book a airbnb?
Answer summary
When applying for the STV (Special Tourist Visa) from the United States, you may wonder about accommodation after completing your ASQ (Alternative State Quarantine). It is generally required to have fully paid accommodation for your entire stay under the STV, which may complicate staying at your girlfriend's condo. However, if your girlfriend owns the condo, you will need a written invitation and proof of ownership (house book). If she is a renter, you'll need a lease agreement and her house book. Some users have noted that for regular tourist visas, proof of accommodation isn't strictly necessary. Finally, after quarantine, you can stay anywhere, but be aware of travel restrictions in certain provinces.

After quarantine you can stay where you like but remember there are a lot of red provinces so travel might be limited

yes you would just need an invite letter from your GF. if she owns the condo then you'll need the house book as well, that should prove she owns it. if she is renting, you'll need a copy of her lease agreement and the house book.

But if in doubt call your embassy and ask them what is required.

As for a regular tourist visa (
@Stu***
) You don't need to prove any accommodations. on my forms when i arrived last month i just put down an address. upon check out of ASQ they asked if that was the address where i'm staying and i said yes. no one checked anything, and i didn't have to provide any proof.

On a normal tourist visa if you have a written invite from your girlfriend then that would cut it. However the STV seems to state that you need to have fully paid accommodation for your entire stay. I’m not sure the invite would work.
