SINGLE ENTRY TOURIST VISA QUESTION PLEASE -

I have some friends coming in from America and trying to apply for a single entry tourist visa.

They need confirmation of booking from a hotel - the hotel we've booked them at has no online booking system no a physical address - it is on haad yuan bay.

They also seem to need a letter of invitation. Where can one get that?

Can anyone please help to advise? Thanks

XOXO

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user seeks guidance on obtaining a single-entry tourist visa for friends visiting Thailand without an online booking hotel and needing a letter of invitation. Community responses suggest getting email confirmation from the hotel, calling to book another hotel with a physical address, and clarify that a letter of invitation is needed only for stays at private addresses. Furthermore, the discussion notes that not all Thai consulates require booking confirmations or invitation letters for tourist visas.

Just to add there is no question on the application form of both links for an invitation letter? Only a proposed address. here you can download and see the application form,

Look up that Thai Consulates website to obtain their requirements for the Visa.

The requirements for a Tourist Visa may differ from Consulate to Consulate . .

What is their State of Residency in the USA?

We have the requirements. The question is surrounding how to meet the requirements.

To select a Thai Consulate in USA click on the residence State of applicant to determine which Thai Consulate/

Embassy to submit application.

And with this the answers are there.

You have the place and address to tell your friends to apply for a visa.

You managed to find a hotel without on line booking, go find the place again and ask their address

And Invitation letters you get from house owners.

Good luck

I never heard of a requirement that a hotel owner has to write a letter of invitation to his hotel guests to apply for a visa.

Just fill in the hotel name and address and you will be okay.

Visa application forms are for different kind of Visa and not all the questions will apply to a Tourist Visa.

But the extra box special for Transit and Tourist Visa much be signed.

The hotel has no protocol for letter writing and no interest in writing letters. The officials seem to want a confirmation for the whole length of stay.

You booked a hotel with no physical address? How does one find it?

If you don't live close to Houston, the LA consulate also doesn't require hotel room booking or letter of invitation, per

It's an official consulate, and they accept mail applications.

The Barcelona resort on that beach has address 153/13 Moo 6 Haad Yuan Beach Ban Tai, Koh Phangan,

Moo 6 Haad Yuan Beach Ban Tai, Koh Phangan, 84280 Haad Yuan, Thailand , I guess it could be found if you booked an official hotel.

You need a letter of Invitation if you stay at a private address, the owner of that place writes a letter.

WOW a Hotel without an address, Amazing Thailand.

What is next today?

Make a booking by phone in a real hotel on the island and get the paper
Brian ********
Get the hotel to email confirmation of stay

The hotel is not set up with anything online - its very oldschool word of mouth place...
