ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user has applied for a tourist visa to Thailand online and received a request for additional documents, including proof of accommodation for 60 days and an invitation letter from a Thai resident. They are uncertain if they need to book a hotel for the entire duration or can provide an alternative arrangement. They also express concern about the impact of a potentially unsuccessful tourist visa application on their future travel plans, particularly in relation to a planned retirement visa after arrival. Community members suggest booking a hotel with free cancellation and raising questions about why the user is opting for a tourist visa rather than directly applying for a retirement visa.
