TLDR : Answer Summary

A DTV visa holder in Thailand can apply for a Japan visit visa, granted they possess a long-term visa and a valid re-entry permit for Thailand. It's advised to confirm with the Japanese consulate for specific requirements.

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

What's the DTV got to do with your ability to visit a seperate independent country?

I am not in Thailand yet but plan to visit with a DTV visa. However, I also need to travel to Japan for a personal visit. If the DTV visa is not a long-term option, I am concerned that it may affect my ability to apply for another visa. Therefore, I need to ensure that my travel plans comply with visa requirements.

Anonymous participant the DTV is a multiple entry visa so you can come and go as you please. Applying for a visa to another country whilst having the DTV visa is totally seperate

I checked with the embassy, and they confirmed that if I have a long-term visa and a valid re-entry permit for Thailand, I am eligible to apply.

Thank you all

@Lilly *****

how do you know?

...The post gives us absolutely no idea who they are.... posting anonymously..

...Japan has its own requirements for obtaining a visitors visa.

...Having a Thai DTV Visa means nothing to Japan.

@Barry *****

gave a good answer...CONTACT THE JAPANESE EMBASSY OR CONSULATE IN THAILAND.

@Lilly *****

but if you don't know who the poster is and their passport nation, how can the Japanese Embassy answer?

Having a Thai DTV Visa means nothing to Japanese immigration.

What's Most important is what is the passport nation of the anonymous poster?

My guess is that they are from a nation in which Japan does not grant a visa exempt entry or even a visitors visa.

And the anonymous poster is hoping that having a Thai DTV Visa in their passport gives them special access to Japan.

That's NOT HAPPENING

Thai PASSPORT holders can enter Japan for 15 days as Visa Exempt Entry.

Having a Thai DTV Visa in their passport means NOTHING to their ability to enter Japan visa exempt.
