I was interviewed in Manila. Very laid back. They had asked me to bring mobile banking but never asked to see my accounts, just acknowledged that she could see them if she wanted to.
I was asked how about my business : how I started it, how it works remotely and whether I had staff or not.
I was asked about why I wanted to be in Thailand and that was it.
It took, maybe, 10 minutes and I asked some questions.
I applied in Tokyo and got called in for an interview. It was quite rigorous and intense. Was interviewed by 3 women at once; one Japanese and two Thai. They mainly wanted to know about my employment. I work in recruitment in Japan and have been doing for 20+ years. I had to explain that I can work fully remotely and that all of my clients / business takes place in Japan. I had to show proof of 2 of my clients, proof that I can do the job remotely, they wanted to see my business card, look at my LinkedIn profile and payslips.
They they touched on other topics; they wanted to know how I know my guarantor, why I cannot speak Japanese completely fluently, where my ex-wife lives, where my adult son lives, why I like Thailand and can I speak any Thai.
I always knew that applying in Japan might be more strict than other countries, because, well, Japan is just like that.
At the end of the interview, I asked them if I will qualify since I checked all of the boxes and they said maybe. They said perhaps they might offer me another type of visa. I told them that I am not interested in any other type of visa.
