Can I use a hotel or Airbnb address as my local address for a Non-O visa in Thailand?
For non-immigration O, can hotel or Airbnb address be accepted as local address?
Answer summary
The conversation discusses whether a hotel or Airbnb address can be used for a Non-O visa application in Thailand. Users clarify that while applying at an embassy or consulate outside Thailand generally accepts temporary addresses, applying within Thailand may also allow for a hotel address initially. However, to obtain a year extension, a more permanent residential contract may be needed. Additionally, a confirmation letter from the hotel for long-term stays might be necessary.

As I understand it you need a "permanent" address for the non-o. This can be a hotel or whatever but you'll need a letter indicating your a long term resident. I think a 3 month stay is enough to class as "permanent"

you don't need anything but be 50+ and prove of 800.000, no long term address or anything

yes! Does that mean that I qualify to apply for the non-o until I've lived in Thailand for 3 months? Meanwhile, what do people do with expiring tourist visa?John **********
@David ***
not at all. You just need a letter from the hotel confirming you are booked in for x monthsDavid ****
OPI'm currently in Thailand applying at the immigration office. Will I also need to submit a tm.30? Thanks for your response.

Is there something wrong with you? Do you know anything about "official" requirements when opening a bank account as a foreigner? How long have you been here? You sound like a tourist.Max *************
May I ask, do you have a thai bank account yet? If not, most banks don't officially accept hotel addresses.

as I found out the hard way that in July 2024, you need to get a certificate from immigration to open an account as a tourist. Unfortunately, I just found this out and so the tm30 that the hotel prepared was considered late. They are supposed to file the form within 24 hrs of my arrival. So immigration wants different kinds of info now and I'm waiting to see if the hotel is willing to refile the tm30 for me.

Most Immigration Offices require a TM30 to be filed for you to use any of their servicesDavid ****
OP@Graham *****
can I submit the tm30 or only the landlord can do it? An immigration officer that I must have a lease before any bank will open an account. Is that true?Graham ******

I am staying in a hotel. Should I ask them to submit a tm.30 for me?Graham ******
@David ***
You can book a cheap hotel for one night and get a TM30, no need to stay there.Graham ******
@David ***
It's the landlord's responsibility but some will not submit one. Normally a Recidency Certificate from Immigration is enough to open an bank account but every branch has their own requirements.

For a consulate or embassy outside of Thailand then you should be fine with a temporary address. Depending on the office then you probably will be ok for applying inside of the country for the initial Non O, but to get the year extension off of either option you’ll probably find your office will require a long term 6 month or 12 month contract.

Are you applying at an embassy/consulate outside of Thailand or applying inside?
