Will a letter from my Thai friend and his lease documentation suffice for my STV application if I'm staying with him after quarantine?

STV Visa Visa Requirements Accommodation for STV Thailand Immigration Expat Life in Thailand

Dec 20, 2020

5 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a question. I am planning to get an STV from the US and I now see the requirements. One of them is a fully paid hotel reservation for the entire 90 days. I will be staying with a Thai friend after quarantine. Do you think a letter from him and documentation of his lease will be sufficient? Does anyone have a template he can use?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the sufficiency of a letter from a Thai friend and that friend's lease documentation as proof of accommodation for the Special Tourist Visa (STV) application. Community responses confirm that providing proof of address is necessary for Visa applications in Thailand, suggesting that the documentation from the friend should be adequate.
