if its Pune, it will go to Delhi consulate per my understanding. If you had submitted on 20th July, it would have reached Delhi on 21st and even if you count 10 days processing time you should hear back from them by tomorrow. 16th Aug - you have enough time, not to worry.

The validity on my first one was for 6 months. Of course you can apply if the reason is valid and it should convince the visa officer.

I wonder why they gave me PRTD with 3 months validity :(

But you got TD again while your first TD was valid !

I entered using the first issued PRTD and the officer at the border crossed the page, in short it is a single entry and no more valid after the first travel.

Hey everyone;

Has anyone tried applying for a transit document via the Japanese Visa office in Tokyo? If so, how long did it take?
