Hi guys the intended date of arrival and departure i put like 100 days is that okay? Should be under 180 days .

And about renting i planning for 1 year condo rent but i have to check the place before i sign agreement 

So is it okay to fill 30 days as accommodation just hotel ? Or i should book entire 100 days in hotel ? 

In 30 days i will find a condo by visiting it physically and then i lease it for a 1 year

It's not a crucial detail, they just want an address upon arrival.

I booked a condo with booking dot com which was free to cancel. I used this booking for my application but cancelled as soon as my application was pending approval

A 100 day stay with a 30-day hotel booking is fine, assuming you not applying in Malaysia.

Which embassy are you applying from? There are no minimum days unless you apply in Malaysia you need to book 6mths accommodation. I put down a stay of 80 days and round 2 week accommodation booking. Are they asking for a booking confirmation or just dates?

thanks sir 🙏

Yes embassies have different rules. Some want to see an actual booking others just the date is fine. Ask them and check the threads if anyone else has applied there
