Hi everyone. When I apply for the non immigrant O visa from the states, it’s asking where I will stay. Do I need to provide documentation on reservations? I may move around Thailand a bit so I’m not sure I will be anywhere for a long period of time.

Im planning on arriving July 25

Do I need to provide proof of a return flight within the 90 day window?

I’m planning to apply for the retirement visa.

I will also apply for multiple entry visa

I will meet the 800000 baht requirement.

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Non-Immigrant O visa, you only need to provide the address of your first place of stay in Thailand, such as a hotel name and its address. You do not need to show proof of a return flight for this type of visa. Note that the Non-O visa is not a multiple entry visa; if you plan to leave Thailand during your stay, you will need a re-entry permit to keep your current visa stamp valid.

Just the address of your first place of stay would be ok.

You don’t need a return or onward ticket for a Non O visa. A non O is not multiple entry. You’d need a re-entry permit if you wish to leave before the 90 days to keep your current stamp date valid.
