Hello my family of 4 is currently in Hanoi Vietnam and want to apply for the SETV visa but everything is in my name. I would really appreciate the help on showing proof for my family as for the bank statements and accommodations.
Answer summary
To apply for the SETV visa for your family of four when the documents are in your name, ensure each family member has their separate visa application, including individual files and fees. For proof of accommodation and financial evidence, you can type the relevance of each document, linking them to each family member, and ensure everything is organized for ease of submission. Each member must provide their passport, recent photographs, proof of current location, financial stability documents, travel itineraries, and (if relevant) documents for minors like birth certificates. It's important you follow the guidelines for the Thai e-Visa application process while ensuring all bookings and statements clearly indicate the relationship to you as the applicant.
