Hi, I want to travel to Japan but need a visa for it. According to Japan Embassy's website, I need to show proof of long term residency in Thailand and a tourist visa will not suffice. Any idea if they would accept DTV? My nationality is Indian if it helps.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about whether a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) would be accepted by the Japanese Embassy for visa application purposes, given that their nationality is Indian and they have long-term residency in Thailand. Responses in the comments indicate mixed views: some assert that the DTV will not be accepted and that a Non-O visa is required, while others claim that the DTV is sufficient for application. Ultimately, at least one respondent confirmed their successful application for a Japan visa using a DTV.
