I wanted to apply for Japan tourist visa in Thailand, according to Japan embassy they said I need to have long term. Is DTV considered Long term? I already asked them via email but their answer is just „If you have Thai long-term visa and re-entry, you reach visa application regulation. please visit

[members only]“

Maybe someone can help

Has anyone applied for a soft power (medical) DTV visa in Tokyo? What was your experience and were you successful? Did you have to visit the embassy or could it be completed all online? I'm currently in Japan on a tourist visa. I have seen some older information stating I require residency, though newer embassy posts seem to just require an entry stamp.

Can I apply for Japan tourist visa at the BKK Japanese embassy while on DTV?

I know this might be a long shot but here goes.

I'm a South African passport holder. I have a SINGLE ENTRY Non-B visa for Thailand. I need to fly to Japan in October (for 1 week) and I've noticed that I need a Visa.

1. Can I apply for a TOURIST visa to Japan in Thailand? If so what will be the procedure? And where?

2. Is it possible to apply for a RE-ENTRY permit without having to go back to South Africa? If so what will be the procedure? And where?

T.I.A
