ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, is there any Singaporean who got successful application? Need some assistance here

As in Singapore passport, we have a full English name (without indication of family name and given name in the passport) and also a Hanyu Pinyin (for Chinese)

So, how do you guys key in the name? Is it just key both the full English and Hanyu Pinyin name under the given name column and leave the family name blank?

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Singaporean is seeking advice on how to properly enter their name when applying for a Thai visa, specifically concerning the use of their full English name and Hanyu Pinyin. They are unsure whether to input both names under the given name column while leaving the family name blank. Responses suggest following the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) format found in their passport. However, the shared Facebook links do not directly address the question.

- only looked at the first 3 links but do you not realize those posts don’t answer this person’s question? Yes, they all applied via Singapore, but this poster is asking a specific thing

understood, BUT the links I provided gave the author access to those who have applied for the DTV visa via the Singapore Thai Embassy. He then could message those folks asking his question. It was just a thought of mine to 🆔 the Singapore applicants.
