What should I do if the Thai Consulate requests accommodation proof again despite already providing it?
What should one do if they receive an email from the Thai Consulate asking again for “need accommodation proof in thailand” even though these were already included in the application?
In my case, the original submission already had:
– a confirmed one-way flight ticket to Bangkok
– hotel booking confirmation from booking.com (completely refundable) for the first two weeks in Bangkok
Just want to know if this is a standard follow-up, then what to share with them, or if I should resend the same documents separately.

Answer summary
If you've received a follow-up email from the Thai Consulate requesting accommodation proof again, despite previously submitting the required documents, it could be a standard procedure. Many expats recommend resending the same documentation, ensuring you include clear confirmation numbers if available to validate your hotel booking. Additionally, some users suggest that consulates may seek non-refundable bookings for extended periods, so if your initial proof was refundable, you might consider providing alternative proof or clarification in your response.

Which embassy asked for this?

On your confirmation there is usually a number on the top right of the page....I think the second page. You can attach that as they can check online to see it's valid.

I gave a confirmation of 6 weeks at a resort (free cancellation) and I wrote in my cover letter I would look for longer term accommodation once I arrived

Depends where you’re applying. Malaysian consulates/embassy reportedly wants accommodation proof for your entire 180 day stamp.

I'm in India for a moment. On their official sites there is no such specific stay requirement is mentioned.Greg ********
Have a look through recent posts. One guy was asked for confirmation of accommodation for the whole period of his intended stay.

You'e probably going to need longer period booked, or like someone says, send a letter explaining you are going to be looking for a more permanent house when you are in the country. Not sure the logic of requiring you to arrange accommodation for 6 months, when next day they may reject your application -but that's the requirement... 🤷♀️

how can one give proof of accomodation for five years of DTV? This looks bit odd

Anonymous participant for the stay, not for the five years

Anonymous participant As above I think it is for 180 days. KL has been asking this from the beginning. The workaround for the guy who posted recently (Austrian Embassy I think it was) was to say initial stay was for 1 month rather than 180 days.

Anonymous participant No idea. There is no universal guidance and each Embassy has their own interpretation and quirks. Probably even down to the reviewer too. The first person reviewing documents will not be a MFA but rather a "Local hire" that all embassies have. Different ones will ask for different things. One application may sail through while an identical one gets asked for more documents.

but would it be possible to provide a note that i would look around after 14 days for a longer stay?

Anonymous participant a condo lease of 180 days is what some embassy’s may be looking for. Yes it does seem silly since you also show 500k in a home bank account.

OPI had submitted 14 days stay. In this request document, should I correct and provide 180 days (free-cancellation) hotel stay?
