Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of applying for a Tourist visa planning to stay for 87 days.

I have a question about the proof of accommodation in Thailand. 

During this time I will be staying with a good friend of mine. She needs to write an invitation letter and I am not sure what exactly needs to be stated in that letter.

Any advice appreciated

Many thanks!

Answer summary

The poster is applying for a Tourist visa to Thailand for 87 days and seeks advice on how to construct an invitation letter from a friend who will host them. Comments suggest including the host's name, Thai ID number, address, and the guest's passport number in the letter. Some respondents recommend additional proof of residency from the host, such as a utility bill or rental contract, and mention using AI assistance for drafting the letter. There are also discussions about the validity of a Tourist visa for the intended duration and related concerns.

I also added her rental contract with her name and address on it too. The condo owners house book as well. I probably gave them too much information. I just didn’t want them to ask for more details and have a delay in the approval.

I used Chatgtp to make the invitation letter for me. Had her sign it and sent it back to me. Worked great!

sorry Tod, yes I have done this multiple times with dictation as well. It always seems strange to me that the function is so weak it would actually write that. 🙂
