Hi,

I am a British National and am about to embark on 11 day trip to Japan and wondered if

it is possible for me to apply for a Tourist Visa or maybe a Non Immigrant O from there?

If anyone knows I would be most grateful,

Thank you,

P.

Yes you can, go to Thai Embassy apply before noon and pick up the next afternoon

I showed money in a Thai Bank Account as I never had an onward ticket, they accepted that.

Hey!

That's great thanks for the speedy reply, did you show them in excess of 10,000 Baht?

Thanks,

Yes, I have my account in Thailand and I had purchased my ticket in Thailand BKK - TYO - BKK, I just photocopied my Bank book pages and all was OK.

They should put you in the picture, unfortunately you can't send an email concerning Visa enquiries.

I asked the exact same question last week.

lopburi3 responded to both my and your same question in your other duplicate thread with a confident "No":

Non Immg O Multientry, Can I get one in Tokyo?:

Unless you are Japanese or live in Japan you will not get the visa there.

Non Immigrant O From Japan:

Are you a resident of Japan? Do not believe you stand any chance of obtaining such a visa in Japan if not and surly not for visiting friends.

So, what is the truth?

Maigo6, when did you get the visa?

Is either a return ticket back to Thailand or copy of a bank statement (with money in it) all that is needed to show?

I was thinking of traveling there at the end of March 2010 and was thinking of getting a visa while there.

You may get a Tourist Visa, that's what I got.

It was over 2 years ago, things may have changed.

I think Lopburi is right.

Ah Ok, you didn't originally say which kind of visa you got so I thought it was a non-immigrant O. Thanks for clearing it up.

Just to clarify, can I get a multiple entry tourist visa for Thailand in Tokyo? It's either Tokyo or Vientiane for me and I'd rather go to Tokyo if the tourist visa is available.

I got a single entry tourist visa there some years ago.

I remember it was a lot of hassle, they wanted documentation concerning my employment and bank statements.

Suspect will be single entry only in Tokyo, and will require lots of paperwork. Have a look at the embassy website here. Vientiane are issuing double entry tourist visas, and are currently free.

It does look pretty strict but I notice on this page they have an area for number of entries requested. http://www.thaiembassy.jp/visa-e/doc/visaN.pdf Too bad they won't answer email. I'll see if I can get someone in Japan to phone and found out what the deal is.

That appears to be the standard visa application form issued by MFA in Thailand. Each embassy/consulate sets its own rules around visa issuance, and not all embassies/consulates issue all types of visa. Best to try to give them a call.
