What should I do if my name on the DTV application does not match my bank statements, and do I need to apply from Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi?

Hi people! First off Merry Christmas!🎄

I have a few questions.

Im a Swedish citizen who just left Thailand and currently in Da Nang to apply for my DTV.

Question one :

My passport states 4 names as my Given Names/Förnamn. (Example : Jon I Lars Fred Larsson)

But in Sweden I only go by one of them Lars, so technically the others are my “middle names”. But the name I go by is not the first one of the 4 names, it’s the 3rd. That’s where it gets tricky. But all my bank cards, credit cards and when I log on to my net bank state (example : Lars Larsson). How do I go about this? Should I separate it into first and middle names? Or maybe explain this in a separate letter?

Question two :

I could only choose to apply via the Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh embassy. But since it’s all digital do I need to be in any of these two city’s or am I good on Da Nang?

Many Thanks 🙏

They also want to know if they are required to apply from the embassy in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, considering their current location.

Still haven’t sent my application since I am worried this will get me rejected. It is me it’s my bank my money very seasoned well over 3.000.000 bath and been there for 2 years plus. Also I am playing with soft power.

Any help or anyone know how the best way of going about proving that my bank is my bank even tho it does not state all my names in my passport? Thanks again!!

Goodness gracious 😩 First of all, your name on the DTV **MUST** match **EXACTLY** what is listed on your passport. No ifs or buts. The system will auto reject immediately otherwise. You will need to submit an explanation with your bank statements or anywhere else that it is really your bank account even though the name is off. Good luck 🍀

Anonymous participant 711 thank you for that! I am applying with my same name as passport for sure. The issue is with my bank statements only showing Lars Larsson and not the full name with all my “middle” names. Is it enough to explain that Sweden when opening a bank they only do so in your main and last name. Not really sure how I explain or prove that. Well it’s my bank I can log in and out and I am the only one with access too it. It also shows my regular withdrawals in Thailand for the last 90days before leaving for Vietnam. It also shows me withdrawing money in Vietnam. It’s very confusing. Everything else is totally in order.
