ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The housing contract for a Non-O retirement visa application can be under a friend's name, provided that certain conditions are met. While traditionally the lease should include the applicant's name, recent information from Phuket immigration suggests that a lease in your friend’s name can still be valid if accompanied by a declaration letter from your friend. This letter must state that you are living at the address, include both your and your friend's passport details, and be signed by both parties. Additionally, proof of residency can also come from hotels as long as it meets the relevant conditions.
