What type of accommodation documentation is required for a Thai tourist visa application?
I applied for a tourist visa for Thailand and all my documents are accepted except for documentation for accommodation. We keep insisting on proof of accommodation. I submit correspondence from several hotels confirming my reservations. Then they keep returning these documents and asking me for proper confirmation whatever that means. They said no emails. What are they talking about.? Do they require you to book through a booking agency who maybe pays them off.?
Answer summary
The user is facing difficulties with their Thai tourist visa application due to accommodation documentation issues. Although they provided hotel reservation confirmations via email, the authorities keep rejecting these, insisting on a proper reservation format. Comments suggest that only PDF versions of booking confirmations will be accepted, as screenshots or emails are deemed insufficient. Users recommend securing a one-night reservation and obtaining a confirmation PDF directly from booking agencies like Agoda or Booking.com. Several responses emphasize the importance of having complete reservation details, often including payment confirmation and official documentation from the hotel.

If you book with Agoda you get both email confirmation and an attached booking confirmation, the latter being what they want
Kenneth *********
They want to see your TM30, which you obviously do not have.

Book the hotel on line send them a pdf copy of the email confirmation.

Ashley ********
ok, you need to just book ONE night, and then using that site, log in go to the booking and download the confirmation that lists your name, the hotels name AND address, the date you will be staying , and total paid.
SolidK*******
You have to download the email confirmation of your booking and then convert that file into a pdf document. There are free websites that will do this for you if you google search: “convert email file to pdf”. If there are several booking and therefore several pdf files you will have to compile these into one singular pdf document. You can merge pdf documents for free at Ilovepdf website will.

Contact your hotel and ask them to provide a letter for visa application with the business letterhead and address. Ask them to include the check in and check out dates. Then upload the letter. This worked for me.

Scanned the confirmed reservation with the date and confirmation number file to the application if that’s what you’re doing otherwise I guess you have to email it but I think someone said no Email so I don’t know about that

Marcel Sawyer thanks for your response but actually I’m staying 90 days. 60 then apply for 30 more. Have done this for the last 10 years or more. Worried.
Graham ******
Marcel Sawyer An extension without using an agent costs 1900B which is more than the cost of a 60 day tourist visa (£30 @ RTE London). If you include a visa agent's fee then you are going to pay much, much more than the Embassy price for your 60 day stay.
Gary *******
OPMarcel Sawyer I agree. The extra month isnt worth zhe BS.

In the UK the Thai visa accepted a jpeg of a 5000thb deposit on a service apartment with a five month tenancy
Brian *********
Thailand is simple and is trying to get rid of the BS visa applications. If you have booked and confirmed the hotel with a payment, then the hotel should be able to send you an attached PDF. PERSONALLY, I have lived here for 16 years, and I make most of my bookings through AGODA with no issues getting the confirmation immediately. It does not cost any more than you would pay for the hotel.
Articulat**********
You need the pdf file of the reservation
Shane ************
Go to Vietnam less mindless bullshit.
Attractive***********
You must got a reservation slip ? Which is an attachment showing detail . Billed from when to when hotel name even a payment . And e Mail is no reservation it is just a confirmation. And sent as PDF
Steve ******
Go to Vietnam.
Todd ********
Steve Cole good. One less here
Lynnette *******
Steve Cole how does that help them get their visa for Thailand?

Lynnette Munoz Thailand make it too difficult, Vietnam offers much more

Steve Cole that's your opinion not a fact

What country/consulate?
Jim *********
I’m about to visit and I rented a condo from a longtime friend. Just a handshake. Am I going to have an issue too?
Lars-Göran ************
Jim Hartman Depends if you need a visa or if the 30 days visa exempt are enough?
Johan_B*******
Jim Hartman yes, absolutely. UNLESS your purpose of visitation is to VISIT FRIENDS/FAMILY, then you ask that someone to write you a letter of invitation include his/her signature and a copy of Thai ID cards/visa/passport of the invitee. Then the proof of ownership of the condo you will stay.
Johan_B*******
It means that you MUST sent them the complete reservation in form of pdf, they do NOT accept screenshots of emails etc. 2 weeks ago, they too asked me NOT to send them screenshot JPEG but the original pdf files
Kate *******
Johan_Budiotso you can export confirmation e-mails as a PDF, that might be accepted.
Charlimo *********
Johan_Budiotso that's why I decided not to do the tourist visa....it's just to complicated to do it online. And 3 months bank statements 😢
Antoinette **********
Johan_Budiotso They want a “professional” scan. Not from a phone. A digital scan from a Fed Ex would be good, but not from your phone.
James ***********
Booking. Com ....then cancel

James Hornigold that's the best

dumb comment. LolCharlimo *********
@John *****
it doesn't work . They won't accept itBrian *********
@John *****
, they likely won't accept that, since it is not a guarantee. That might work on the 30-day, but not on this visa.Activity
