Should I answer 'Yes' or 'No' to the question about my Thai visa application when reapplying after cancellation?

I have a question.

I applied to the Japanese consulate in Fukuoka, but they asked for all pages of my passport and since I had already left Japan, my application was cancelled.

I will reapply in Kuala Lumpur where I am currently staying.

"Have you ever applied for Thai visa? Yes No"

Which answer should I choose for this question?

I chose "No" when I applied to Fukuoka last time.

Since this is a reapplication, will it be "Yes"?

Or, since I have never applied for any visa other than DTV, will it be "No" this time too?

**Additional Note

I would like to explain why I am undecided.

My application to Fukuoka was not "Status: rejected" but "Status: Cancel Visa Application".

Cancel = no application?

I was notified by email that the reason for the cancellation was that I had left Japan.

In other words, this DTV is my first time applying for a visa to Thailand, and the result of that first application was "Cancel" instead of "rejected", so I am undecided.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is uncertain about how to answer the question regarding prior Thai visa applications on a new application form. They previously applied in Japan but had their application canceled due to leaving the country, raising questions about how to respond to this query. Comments provide insights, suggesting that since the previous application was made, they should answer 'Yes', as they did indeed apply for a visa, even though it was canceled.

You've already mentioned that "I 'applied' to the Japanese consulate in Fukuoka"

Lesson learned I hope. Make sure you remain in Malaysia until your application is completed ie until you get a result

you dont need to stay in the country of application. Youre just not allowed to enter thailand during the process

You applied in Japan, guess what the answer is.

Says " I applied for visa in Japan was rejected "

Then says " do I put yes or no as to if I've applied for a visa "

.

How are you alive if you can't understand this 😂🤦‍♂️

Of course you say YES you have because you DID omfg 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

You are often requested to submit all pages of your passport, (including blank pages) it’s very simply, merge them into one pdf, compress file size if more than 3mb, I used ILovePDF

You must remain within the country you apply until you receive official confirmation of approval or otherwise.

The rules are very straightforward 🤷🏾‍♀️

Was your visa application rejected or cancelled? If rejected, you should answer Yes. If cancelled, then No is OK, I think.

@Elías *******
not logical, despite the outcome the OP applied.

They applied period so it's a YES 🙄🤦‍♂️ canceled rejected regardless they still have applied for a visa 😂

Did the Japanese Consulate actually state their reason for ‘cancellation’ was the fact you left Japan during processing?

As very clearly stated on most Thai Embassy websites, you will NOT get any reason for cancellation of the visa application from the Embassy.

It is you who try to mislead the OP to believe that the Embassy will provide reason for the cancellation.

It is still stated on the Embassy website that they will NOT provide any reasons about the reason for cancellation, so it is silly to think you will get a reason.

Condoning perpetuates ‘Government Department’ arrogance and incompetence. Pocketing $400 dollars without supplying the reason for cancellation (or rejection) is deplorable.

The OP could have made an incorrect assumption?

Have you ever applied for a Thai visa?

The question is pretty clear. It's YES. DTV is a visa. Why would you risk once again to be denied when caught lying?
