Can international travelers apply for a Japan visa while staying in Thailand, including on a DTV visa?

You can usually apply for a Japan visa in Thailand if you can prove legal stay there, such as a long-stay Thai visa or DTV. Travelers in Thailand only on visa exemption or a short tourist stay are often told to apply in their home or resident country instead.
