Hi, wondering what others with a double surname did..

Im going to Thailand for over 60 days in January 2025 and I need to apply for a tourist e-visa. When creating my account I put my surname, which is Sobanska-Peksa, but it doesn't let me write it like this.

Should I just write Sobanska when creating the account or write SobanskaPeksa without the - symbol?

Answer summary

When applying for a Thailand tourist e-visa, it is essential to enter your surname exactly as it is printed in your passport. If your surname is Sobanska-Peksa, consult the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) section of your passport to determine the correct format, as hyphens are not typically allowed. Therefore, you may need to write it as SobanskaPeksa or just Sobanska if the portal does not allow special characters.

just go by exactly as printed in your passport and also looking at the bottom of the photo page within the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) will tell you whether to put a space or not as no hyphen/dash are allowed in names....
