I applied non-O 90 days e-visa online in home country yesterday and receive reply to ask for "proof of long-term accommodation in Thailand". Can I use the first 10 days hotel booking reciept as proof(I plan to find long term rental house during the fist 10 days after enter Thailand) ?

Q about eVisa application from the UK - Non-Immigrant Visa Category "O" (Retirement) type.

On the section of Proof of Accommodation - I have put the address of the Senior Living complex I am staying at.

Do I need to have some sort of formal letter from them with their address about the booking or is it sufficient to put their full address. It is 30 mins outside Chiang Mai. Thanks.

Just starting my non oa visa application online. Need some help. Was there a prefered list of medical insurers posted somewhere?

Also, if I’m staying with my Thai gf at her place, how do i get around proof of property rental agreement?

Thanks

Visa Application dumb questions

Hi Folks,

I’m currently in the process of applying for Non Immigrant O-A for retirement giving me an initial 90

Days. I’m in Australia .

Question. It’s asking for return flight tickets but I’m looking to stay longer and apply once I’m there. Is that something you need to put in and then I’ll have to buy an open ended return flight. ? Or do I get away with leaving the return flight blank.

Also

It’s asking for proof of accomodation which I’m happy to book for a week until I find something more suitable for longer term.

# 🇹🇭 DTV Approved - Freelancer - Vienna embassy

Hey, I just wanted to share my recent experience with applying for DTV through Vienna embassy.

I am really thankful for many already answered questions in this group, and for available pdf templates I randomly found uploaded here.

After I compiled all supporting documents, the process was super fast.

📅 Applied: 12th February

📍 Embassy: Vienna

📅 Additional documents: 12th February ( 1 item )

✅ Approved: 17th February

Country: 🇸🇰 Slovakia ( No TH embassy in my country )

Here is structured list of uploaded documents as I put them into supporting form in my application:

Proof of funds

* Section cover page explaining details of incoming funds - I have separate business and personal accounts

* Bank statements showing funds in my personal bank account

* Last 6 invoices as my income from work

Proof of work:

* Section cover page - Here I specified I have no working relations with any company in Thailand

* Portfolio - it was more like CV with details what I do and for how long

* Contract aggreement

* Letter of no objection for remote work signed by my client

* Self-employment registration

Proof of accommodation:

This section was confusing so I put there what I thought was right. Also it's based on previous experiences with Vienna embassy posted in this group.

* Section cover page

* Scanned National ID

* Passport page with stamp leaving Thailand

* Booked flight tickets from Vienna to Bangkok

* Rental agreement as proof of having accommodation in Thailand

* Recent phone bill, stating my current address in Slovakia - I didn't even bother to translate this

Additional documents as requested by the embassy

* Criminal record certificate

I had all documents translated into English, but only few were done through certified agency. I really wonder how much the agencies rely on AI these days.

This took forever to compile and upload, I rebooked my flights twice 😅 But approved in 4 working days total. 😀

Proof of accommodation for immigration purposes

Hello,

I will arrive in Bangkok on the morning of January 7. I only have proof of accommodation for the first 7 days, although I will be staying for one month. Do I need to provide accommodation proof for the entire duration of my stay?

I just arrived from Taipei to Chiang Mai 12/13/26 11:00.

The airport was not crowded.

Immigration had many officers waiting for us.

I showed the officer my DTV Visa stapled in the passport.

He asked no questions, smiled and said “ Welcome to Thailand."

I checked my passport and was correctly stamped in for 180 days.

NOTE: there was a typed document in multiple languages pasted on the immigration window saying, “Please show your hotel or address where you will be staying".

Remember this is one of the "3 Proofs"that we hear about. I was not asked but I had a reservation for a $4 hotel.

How many of you remember the other 2 "Proofs"?

Addendum: This was was entry number 6 through CNX, DMK and BKK since getting the DTV 1 year ago.

Thailand has served as a very convenient hub to travel to neighboring countries n past years. Make sure you are looking like a traveler, not a resident, and you should be fine.

Hi everyone! I first entered Thailand on August 31st on my DTV visa, and I’ll be leaving on December 1st after using the full 90 days. I plan to come back again in January on the same DTV visa (for my Soft Power Muay Thai training).

With all the recent rule changes at Thai immigration, I wanted to clarify something:

👉 If I re-enter after 1 month, will I have to show accommodation proof, training proof, or any new documents again?

👉 Or will immigration stop or question me because I’m entering again on the same visa type within a short gap?

👉 Has anyone recently re-entered on the DTV after a short exit?

Any updated experiences or advice would be really appreciated — thank you! 🙏🇹🇭

I’ve recently applied for the DTV through the Wellington Embassy (yep, I know—it’s the pricey one, but since I’m based in NZ I figured I’d give it a go).

The embassy has come back with this request:

“Other requested documents: Proof of accommodation in Thailand for the entire duration of stay is required.”

Has anyone else come across this? What did you provide?

I’ve got accommodation sorted for the first month but was planning to find an apartment once I arrive in Chiang Mai.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
