I am going to Malaysia tomorrow to get a tourist visa. I have proof of flight in and proof of a flight back to America at the end of the visa. Do I need proof of accommodation? I am living in a house with my gf currently. Thanks :)

, READ the check list completely BEFORE asking question after question. It's pretty self explanatory. Meet the requirements get the visa, DON'T meet the requirements DON'T get the visa.

And upon arrival at Thailand Immigration have on you 20,000 Thai baht or equivalent in CASH if asked by Immigration.

Sean Ross Did you read the check list and did you actually read the sentence that I copied from the Checklist? First you start my gf is Chinese, nowhere it is mentioned that you can only have a friend/relative of specific nations. And now you start with address registration at Immigration Office needed to apply for this Visa?

Are you sure she doesn't need proof of her renting the house from immigration? Sorry for all the questions

Please ask her to write down in English, so you do not need a certified copy of her Chinese writing.

I try again: If staying with you girlfriend please submit a invitation letter and a copy of her Id card/passport. So your girlfriend is Chinese, she takes a A4 and a pen, writes down that she, name, passport number, invites you, name passport number into her rented house with address during your whole stay in Thailand. She signs the letter and you take this and a copy of her passport as proof of accommodation.

my girlfriend is not Thai... she is Chinese. She is working in Thailand legally. We rent a house together. Just want to be clear on what would be accepted in this case.

I know reading a page is hard,so I just copied it into here. Maybe you can read it more easy on this page: If staying with a friend/relative, please submit his/her invitation letter and

a copy of his/her identity card/passport

ok, so it's not needed now I see. But what should I use for proof of accommodation if I'm not staying in Hotels? I have a house with my gf.

@Sean *****
You only need to read the first 6 requirements, you can not apply for the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa because you do not reside in Malaysia as mentioned in point 7.
