How does the DTV and needing to have a rental agreement work if you’re not sure what area you want to stay in and want to explore multiple areas?
Answer summary
The initial application for the DTV visa does not require a rental agreement, which allows applicants to explore various areas in Thailand before settling on a location. However, a rental agreement may be necessary for visa extensions later on.

Yeah you don’t need a rental agreement for the initial DTV application.

Or at least not at the Washington DC embassy!

Rental is only for extension is it not?
