Do I need a 6-month lease agreement to apply for the DTV from Malaysia if I'm uncertain about my stay in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV application requires a minimum six-month tenancy or lease agreement in Thailand. However, past applicants indicate that while documentation is necessary for the visa, there may not be subsequent checks on residency. If uncertain about a long-term stay, alternatives such as a multi-entry visa with border runs every 60 days may be more suitable. Some have suggested using a temporary address like an Airbnb for the DTV application.
