Tourist Visa Info Appreciated

[marginline]

I'm off to Tokyo in August and wondered if anyone has tried obtaining a tourist visa from the Thai Embassy there? What I'm interested to find out is what period of validity the visa issued from there is for (3 months or 6 months) and whether or not they're happy issuing multiple visas?

If anyone has had any recent experience of obtaining a tourist visa from Japan, I'd be most appreciative of your feedback.

Thanks a lot!

From reports we have seen they are not keen to issue any visas.

Thanks for the heads-up lopburi3. I guess for insurance (so they at least talk to me) I'll make sure that I am super polite, have a letter from my Thai partner requesting they give me assistance and ensure that my Japanese host accompanies me when I go to apply - for if they do ignore my application (because I am neither Japanese or Thai), I'll ask my (Japanese) friend to apply for a single tourist visa and see what they issue.
