ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Thai visa from abroad, you may encounter a request for proof of 6 months of accommodation. Here are several suggestions from other expats on how to fulfill this requirement: 1. Make a fully refundable hotel reservation for 6 months, if possible, to show proof of accommodation without actual commitment. 2. Write a letter explaining your temporary accommodation plans, mentioning that you will search for a longer-term rental upon arrival. 3. Some users suggest getting a friend or acquaintance in Thailand to provide a confirmation letter that you can stay at their place for free. 4. If needed, write a convincing letter and submit it as a PDF to address any concerns about your accommodation. It's important to be prepared and present clear intentions for your stay.
