TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion focuses on whether a rental agreement is needed or suitable for the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) application in Thailand. Some commenters suggest that a temporary arrangement like an Airbnb is sufficient, emphasizing that the authorities primarily require proof of accommodation for the visa process, rather than a long-term contract. Concerns are raised about showing a rental agreement that exceeds the validity of the visa, which might complicate the application.

You have a tourist visa but then again if it's a holiday address that TM30s you (registered on arrival) you should be ok. Why tell them anything else? It's irrelevant to them, you might be staying with a friend, you might want to apply for the correct visa to stay longer. God, some people.

You can't get a year out of a METV so showing them an agreement that exceeds the validity of your visa may not be a good idea.
