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!
Answer summary
The user seeks advice on how to properly list the 'place of issue' in their Thai visa application, considering their Japanese passport was issued in Osaka. They are also looking for experiences from others who have applied for a visa in Jakarta. Comments suggest that it's acceptable to use 'Japan' for the country name, and it's important to mirror what is stated in the passport to avoid discrepancies.

I did a lot of research on what I should do. In the end, I copied word for word, letter for letter, everything from my passport that was listed under the section "Authority". I have neither left anything out nor added anything. The passport or bio data page is the only official document that the consular officer has to verify your entry on the e-visa form

OP
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
