ORIGINAL POSTER

Q about eVisa application from the UK -  Non-Immigrant Visa Category "O" (Retirement) type.

On the section of Proof of Accommodation - I have put the address of the Senior Living complex I am staying at. 

Do I need to have some sort of formal letter from them with their address about the booking or is it sufficient to put their full address. It is 30 mins outside Chiang Mai. Thanks.
