When a visa is approved via Thai consulate in USA, does consulate mail anything hard copy to me or is it all electronic? TIA
Answer summary
When your visa is approved via the Thai consulate in the USA, you will only receive an electronic copy of the visa as a PDF file via email. There are no hard copies mailed to you; you can also print the PDF from the e-visa system if needed.

The only thing you'll receive is your visa as a pdf document which will be sent via email. You can also get it by logging back into the e-visa system and printing it from there.

I can do the .pdf printing from my home, in Japan.  How others could do that from elsewhere, even not stationary? Just a technical question.

Go to a print shop. How could they fill out a visa application and provide all the required paperwork before it went to e-visa system?
