Is it normal for my name to be reversed when submitting the DTV application?

!!! HELP. REVERSED NAME!! !!

The system keeps reversing my name when I’m about to submit the DTV (middle name before first name). Is this ok?? (I DONT THINK SO)

- it is put correctly into the system

- I have tried to remake a new application to see if it was a glitch and didn’t work.

Is this normal or do I need to contact the Thai Embassy in Hanoi?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is experiencing an issue where their name is displayed in reverse order (middle name before first name) when submitting a DTV application and is unsure if this is a common occurrence or if they need to contact the Thai Embassy. Commenters share their experiences, indicating that the final output on the payment slip reflects the correct name order, suggesting that the issue might be a glitch that doesn't affect the final documentation.

Hello, I have had the same issue with you before, I don’t remember how my name came out but I remembered the order was wrong. But after I submit, a payment slip of 10,000 Baht came out for me and when I check there, my name was in the right order. I know someone else who faced this exact issue and they told me they got it right on their payment slip as well. So if your name is correct on the payment slip it’s all good. Do wait up for other people’s answers as well

As a note, we both have received our DTV.

None of us has a middle name, so I can't compare with our applications. However, I would not worry too much as long as the part in the red square is correct. The part shown in your post is just intended for the signature.
