Guy's for the STV Visa 

If I'm playing to go for 9 months

So I need to pay for condo for my whole stay in advance, or 3 months it enough. Minus the ASQ of course

Answer summary

The discussion revolves around the STV (Special Tourist Visa) for Thailand and the accommodation requirements associated with it. One user suggests that paying only one month in advance for a rental agreement is sufficient, while another points out that the STV conditions state you must have accommodation booked for the entire stay. However, they note that since the STV is valid for 90 days, booking for three months should be adequate given the nature of the visa. A third comment advises considering a different visa type (Non-O) if the applicant has dependents in Thailand.

The wording on the conditions for the STV says you must have accommodation booked for your entire stay. As the STV only lasts 90 days, and extending it is optional you just don’t mention anything about wanting to stay 9 months. Therefore 3 would be sufficient. I might add that that the requirement for booking your entire stay is crazy, but that’s how they word it.

because the STV is potentially extendable up to 270 days I doubt they’ll require proof of a return flight.

Don't pay more than 1 month in advance. If you have a rental agreement and the deposit is payed, it should be okay.
