What should I write for the 'place of issue' on my Thai visa application from Jakarta?

Hi everyone,

I’d like to say that this group and everyone’s comments and experiences have been really helpful—thank you so much!

What I want to know is: how should I write the “place of issue”? I think “Osaka” is fine for me since my passport was issued there ( Japanese passport )

I’m planning to apply in Indonesia soon. Has anyone gotten approved in Jakarta? I’ve seen some similar comments in this group, but I’d like to hear directly from someone who has already been approved in Jakarta and what they wrote for the “place of issue.”

Thank you so much in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking advice on how to fill in the 'place of issue' section on their Thai visa application, given their Japanese passport was issued in Osaka. They inquire specifically about experiences with visa approvals in Jakarta. Community members responded with suggestions that include writing 'Japan' as the country of issue and matching the entry with what is indicated in the passport, advising to consult the local Thai Royal Embassy for confirmation.

ORIGINAL POSTER
I got an update today. I asked the Thai Royal Embassy in Jakarta, and they said it’s fine to just write “Japan” for the country name. So, for Jakarta, it seems acceptable to write only the country’s name. They also mentioned that if there is a specific issue name stated in your passport, you can include that as well.

However, I strongly recommend asking the Thai Royal Embassy in the location where you’re applying. It seems that each embassy may have its own rules.

I think for place of issue, write whatever it says in the passport, it needs to be the same
