Does having a Thai condo lease prior to applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) help my application?
Is it better or does it matter to have a Thai condo lease prior to DTV application? Does it help the case? Kinda hard to get a 1 year lease when you dont know if youll get the dtv so 1 year lease on a tourist visa is a bit shady but, i would guess legal?
Any experience with this?
Thanks

Answer summary
The consensus is that having a Thai condo lease prior to applying for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) does not significantly impact the application process. While some embassies may expect proof of long-term accommodations, most do not require a lease to be submitted. You can lease a condo on any visa without issues, including visa exemptions. Experiences shared indicate that some applicants have successfully received their DTV with just a month of hotel accommodation or even without submitting a lease. It's advisable to check specific embassy requirements, as they can vary.

It neither helps nor hinders your application, although there’s maybe a couple of squirrelly embassies/consulates in Malaysia that like to see a long lease. Usually though, any accommodation is fine. Many places just ask for an address and require no proof of renting or booking.

If you're wondering if it buys you any brownie points I'd say no. I mean there are some obscure embassies that expect you to have a long lease already set up in Thailand.

When i signed my 1yr lease I was visiting Thailand for the purpose of finding a place to live before I officially moved over. The LL never asked for my visa status, only copy of passport and 2 months deposit when signing the lease contract. I was on a visa exempt at the time.
I've seen make dtv approved with just a month hotel booking (fully refundable).
It depends on your embassy too. When I applied in hcmc 3 months ago, I had a 1 year lease contract but I forgot to upload it with my application. Was approved without anyone asking for it

You could also get a hotel and put it as your address in TH. AirBnB not accepted.

I used Air BnB and got approved via Taipei.Paul *******

AirBNB is certainly accepted for long stays. Only for short stays is it an issue.Matthew *******
@Paul ******
Indeed AirBnB is legal for 30days above stay. Just weird embassy specifically mentioned that.Paul *******
@Matthew ******
yeah that is weird AirBNB is legal for stays of 30 days and above.Matthew *******

Most condo owners will allow you to break your lease. They keep your deposit.

You can lease a condo on any visa. No issues there, even visa exempt.
