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 seeks advice on how to answer the question about previous Thai visa applications in a new application after their previous application in Japan was canceled. Comments suggest that since the user did apply for a visa (despite it being canceled), the correct answer should be 'Yes.' There is clarification that the application's status matters and that they should not misrepresent their situation.

Don't apply in MY! Go to Jakarta instead

Kuala Lumpur is known to be difficult for DTV applications. Vietnam apparently has a smoother process. You may want to check some of the posts here to get a better idea of the best place to apply from, if you have a choice.

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

Anonymous participant 254 bad advice... stay in the country until the decision is known.

Anonymous participant 254 that's bad information. Thai consulates treat the evisa system as if you were physically handing in your passport which means they expect you to remain in the country you apply in. In fact the post you've commented on is a classic example of just that

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

@Henrik ****
Condoning perpetuates ‘Government Department’ arrogance and incompetence. Pocketing $400 dollars without supplying the reason for cancellation (or rejection) is deplorable.
Henrik *****
You will know that are the terms of Thai Embassy before you even apply, if you read the Embassy website thoroughly before applying.

You have to condone with that, if you want a visa to Thailand.

@Henrik ****
my embassy (Finland) also states they dont give a reason, but yet for me, they have told me both times i got rejected. So yes, its possible they will tell you.
James ********
@Toni ******
Hmmmm 🤔 why were you rejected two times ??

@Henrik ****
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?
