Has anyone applied DTV through Japan? I m in Japan on visit visa and thinking to apply DTV for Thai. Is it possible ?

Answer summary

A user inquired about the possibility of applying for a Thai DTV visa from Japan while on a visit visa. The community suggested checking the Thai consulate's website for various visa options and confirmed that visa applications can be completed online. Recommendations included the Multi Entry Tourist Visa (METV) for stays exceeding 2 months but less than 6 months, along with necessary documentation requirements such as proof of funds and bookings. The discussion also touched on the Non-O retirement visa and hints about using veteran benefits when retiring in Thailand.
