Hello… I’ve just had my TR visa approved but it looks like they have put my name the wrong way around, or is it meant to be like that? My name is Carl Robert Morgan! Thanks

Easier to change your name legally in your country to what's written on the visa

It's not unusual for Thai documents to put family name first. My vax certificate is the same, and through covid I had to show that quite a few times and never had one problem
