The conversation revolves around the possibility of applying for a Japan tourist visa while holding a DTV visa in Thailand. Users have confirmed that it is indeed possible to apply for the Japanese visa from Bangkok as a DTV holder. However, there are nuances regarding residency and documentation that may affect the application, such as the need to demonstrate some form of residency in Thailand (e.g., a TM30 form or utility bills). Importantly, the requirements may vary, with some users indicating that Japan does not impose residency duration restrictions for its tourist visa application unlike other countries.
