TLDR : Answer Summary

The original post discusses the difficulties the user, who has purchased a condo in Thailand, is facing in obtaining a Tourist Visa (TR visa) after submitting documents of transfer from the land office, which the consulate does not accept. The community comments suggest several alternative approaches, including providing additional proof of accommodation, booking a hotel for the visa application, and considering applying for a visa exemption on arrival. Users also advise on documentation such as a letter confirming the stay from the condo's management and potential issues regarding the perception of owning property while applying for a tourist visa.

Question to the OP, have you ever stayed in your Condo?

A chanote (deed) or other property purchase documents are not a normal document to show for proof of accommodation. When staying in a private residence (presumably even your own), you must submit an invitation letter signed by the homeowner confirming the dates you are staying there. Simply write a letter saying that you are the condo owner and confirm that you will be staying for X dates. Include a copy of your blue book that shows you are the owner. If you bought it in a Thai company structure, then write the letter from the company, assuming you are the company director, and sign on behalf of the company.

Best bet is book a hotel then you can just get on a plane and then you will get a 30 day holiday and then you can go to immigration and they will give you 30 days more, you can cancel the hotel and go to your condo, when you go to the immigration you can also ask about your condo ie the information you have to send to apply for your holiday in the condo

Bring the visa extension application to your condo manager or office staff to complete the form for you.

Then just go on Agoda and book a hotel with free cancellation and cancel it as soon as you get the visa.

Would it still be active or is it a physical thing you keep on you? Or would I just do an exemption when I get to Thailand? I’m in Florida, so I am pretty sure I apply to Wash DC. I can always start the process next week and have a 4 week cushion. I’ve heard of one visa, I think it’s the METV, that the clock starts the day you receive it, not the day of arrival.

you would enter visa exempt. The visa is active from the day it is issued by the embassy.

Do u think they check the accommodations when they process it? Like if you got a hotel (or flight) and cancel within the 24 hr window, you would get caught? Just wondering, I wouldn't think they would have time to check them all, or are they really strict about it?

I highly doubt they check anything, but if it's free to cancel the hotel why not just leave the reservation until after the visa is issued.

I was just asking out of curiosity, you seem to know the ins and outs of immigration. It would moreso apply to flights that may be submitted on the application, especially the outbound flight if you plan to stay longer. Do you think I'm ok doing the application for the METV approx 3 weeks before traveling or is that cutting it too close?

Really depends on the embassy. But worst case scenario is they issue the visa after you already arrived in Thailand and you just have to do an extra border bounce to activate the first use of the visa.

If you’re from HK/UK you can just come on a 30 days visa exemption and do a 30 days local extension in Thailand if you have problems with the consulate in HK.

Seems quite strict and strange. Your own condo should be sufficient regarding proof of accommodation.

Yes or you can do as Brandon suggests. I don’t manage to open the website in HK at the moment, but normally booking for some nights in a hotel is sufficient for a tourist visa.

Buying a condo has nothing to do with getting a tourist visa

You don't need a condo to get a tourist visa. What did the consulate say you are missing? The requirements for a tourist visa are very simple.
