What should I do if I don't have a lease agreement for my Thai visa application at the KL embassy?

ORIGINAL POSTER
I'm applying at the KL embassy, i picked medical which may have been wrong, but i've been undergoing PRP/stem cell treatments on my knees and shoulders with ample proof for the last 6 months.

Anyways, I believe I can get those figured out, however, other request documents such as... Other request documents ( Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc. )

baffles me. I currently do not have a lease agreement signed, as it would be crazy to sign a long term lease without knowing that i've been approved for the visa. How do i deal with this?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is applying for a medical visa at the KL embassy but is facing difficulties due to a requirement for proof of prolonged residence in Thailand, specifically a lease agreement, which they cannot provide. They have been undergoing medical treatment and are unsure how to address the document requirements, especially since signing a long-term lease before visa approval seems impractical.

KL is known to ask for these extra documents. That is why many suggest not to apply there. For health, you will need to show your future plan. Usually medical treatment, doctor/hospital and dates of future treatments

The Embassy at Malaysia is notoriously know for that nonsensical requirement. In my case, when I applied for the DTV, I didn't have any previous Thai experience except having spent 10 days in Bangkok as a holiday, so how could I even possible have a lease agreement, especially as I'm from a country that cannot enter on visa exempt to Thailand.

Fortunately my embassy, and most of them, don't have that requirement.

In your case, however, as you've already lodged the application, you must either comply their requirements or prepare to face a possible rejection without refunds.

Normally to apply on medical grounds you need a treatment plan going forward covering at least 6 months signed off by a recognised doctor on official hospital letterhead. Having had treatment in the past or just claiming you will get treatment in the future isn't good enough
