TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a visa in Thailand, the length of accommodation booking can vary depending on the specific consulate or embassy's requirements. Some may accept a booking for just one day, while others might expect a minimum stay of two weeks. It is generally advisable to book accommodation for the duration of the expected processing time for your visa application. Additionally, mentioning a rental contract that will expire shortly after your application may be acceptable, but it's best to confirm with the specific authority.

You book the hotel for as long as the official visa processing time is at the respective consulate. You can find the processing times on the homepage of the respective consulate

It depends on the country; you need to be there for two to three weeks, as embassies are slow.

Depends on the consulate or embassy. Some are fine with a single night while others want at least 2 weeks or more.
