Hi DTV journey peeps. 

The requirement to provide proof of accomodation or a lease for 6 months accomodation as proof of residence in Thailand.  

Can anyone provide what the requirement is as my understanding is that you require the visa before you can sign a lease. 

Will a receipt for accomodation from a Hostel be acceptable?  

Many thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the proof of accommodation required for visa applications in Thailand, particularly focusing on whether a lease for six months is necessary or if a hostel receipt would suffice. Comments suggest that the six-month lease requirement is uncommon and inquire about the specific visa application process.

, if you know what dates you'll be moving, get a room in a guesthouse or homestay and give that address. Then you can do viewings of more permanent houses in person after arrival.
