How to Address the Additional Document Request for Proof of Accommodation While Applying for the DTV Visa?

DTV Visa Proof of Accommodation Visa Application Process Thailand Immigration Lease Agreement Expat Visa Challenges

Dec 9, 2024

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello 

I am currently applying for the DTV visa from South Korea and have received an additional document request: "Proof of Accommodation in Thailand: Lease Agreement or Invitation letter to the Royal Thai Embassy, Seoul. (Typed with sponsor’s signature including reason, period, pp no) to certify your stay (Upload Sponsor's PP and ID copy, etc)"

Since this visa cannot be applied for from within Thailand, how is it possible to submit a Lease Agreement? It is unrealistic to sign a rental contract online without even seeing the place.

Has anyone else encountered this request? If so, I would appreciate it if you could share how you resolved this issue. Thank you.

Just got DTV in Korea 2 weeks ago and they didn't ask this. I presume they are starting to limit visas in this way

Send them a hotel booking for a week with a note that you are looking for longer term accommodation once you arrive.

This sounds like a way to refuse the visa for stupid reason… you’re not even supposed to live in Thailand with this visa so how would you have a lease agreement 🙄 some embassies have some crazy policy like this, Malaysia is same.

Yes, this is crazy. I’ve emailed them to ask if a hotel booking would work for now

Exactly. For me, I live with my family so if I were asked for proof of address, it would be my wife's tabien ban. Or the address on the back of my Thai driver's license (which is the same).

of course you can but you don’t have to. This means that embassy asking for rental is just non sense, I’m DTV holder traveler full time and I stay in hotels in Thailand and move constantly.

No idea. I also applied at Seoul in August and wasn't asked any of this.

I did submit a letter written and signed by my employer, addressed to the Thai Embassy, stating I was allowed to work remotely from Thailand.

Did you choose you were staying with a Thai national? If so, that's why they might be asking to verify his/her ID.

No, I’ll be staying with my Korean husband. When I applied back in August, I was denied because I didn’t have three months of transaction history. At the time, they only asked for a bank statement, and there was no mention of accommodation. It seems like the requirements have gotten stricter now.
