Can I re-apply for a DTV visa in Thailand if my name doesn't match my passport and I haven't paid yet?

Hoping someone can help me out with this.

I just submitted my DTV visa application to the Thai Embassy in Hanoi, but right after I noticed the name ( final name ) doesn't match on my passport.

Can I re-apply ( " Apply for a new visa ") since I haven’t paid yet?

Some ppl said it’s okay and that unpaid applications get auto-cancelled after 14 days. But others said I should wait because even without payment, the embassy still sees the submission.

Anyone know what’s the right thing to do? Would really appreciate any advice! 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on whether they can re-apply for a DTV visa at the Thai Embassy after noticing a discrepancy with their name on the application, even though they have not yet paid the visa fee. The community members suggest that since payment has not been made, the original application can be considered as pending and likely auto-cancelled after 14 days, allowing the user to submit a new application without issues.

Yes, leave the other unpaid, if will automatically disappear from the system in 14 days. You don't need to wait for it to disappear to create a new application, and pay. The Embassy will see and review only the paid ones.

Lucky you, you can delete the pending one and start over again I think.

no need. If not paid, it doesn't mean a thing. Just create a new one.

Not 100% sure, but I think you can start a new application. The previous one is most probably not showing anywhere if you haven't paid it yet.

If you haven't paid it's totally fine to start a new application!
