Do I need to submit a hotel booking for my DTV visa application in Thailand if I'm temporarily staying in a hotel while searching for a condo?

ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Thai DTV visa, the requirements for hotel bookings depend on the embassy or consulate you are dealing with. Some, like the Malaysian embassy, require confirmed and paid accommodation for the entire trip, while others might be satisfied with just a few days of hotel booking. It's advisable to mention your accommodation plans in your cover letter. Many users suggest making a refundable booking for a brief stay. Experiences vary by consulate, with some applicants managing to apply without providing hotel booking information.
