Hello,

I applied for the DTV under the “soft power” category, and I have an upcoming interview at the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Osaka. If anyone has gone through a similar interview, could you share what kind of questions or topics were asked? I would really appreciate any information.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is seeking insights about the interview process for a DTV visa under the 'soft power' category at the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Osaka. They have received a comment warning that consulates might issue multi-entry tourist visas instead of the DTV, and they should emphasize their intention to stay long-term during the interview.

They have been known to give out multi-entry tourist visas in place of the DTV, even if you applied for DTV, so make sure you emphasis the need for a 5 year visa, that you plan to stay here most of the time
