ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Applying for a Thai visa from Japan is acceptable, but it requires thorough preparation. Many find the process challenging, particularly at the Thai Embassy in Tokyo, which is noted for its strictness. Applicants often face rigorous interviews, and it's common for some to receive only a month-long METV when applying from Japan. To increase chances of approval, especially for a DTV visa, it's crucial to demonstrate a long-term intention to use that visa type instead of just opting for a METV.
