Answer summary

When applying for a letter of residency in Thailand on a Non-O visa, a 1-year lease is not strictly required. You can use your TM30 form, which indicates your temporary residence, as a valid document. However, some immigration offices may request a lease, so it is advisable to check with the specific office you are visiting.

If you have a lease you can bring it with you along with your TM30. If you don't have a lease then bring your TM30.
