ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi guys! 

I just got my DTV approved, but my visa came back with my name switched. We koreans only have a first and last name, no middle name. So i didnt fill this part. DTV comes out with my first name backwards. And even beforehand i had sent emails to visathaiembassy.kl @gmail.com to  no reply and when i went to the thai embassy here the Malay lady just shouted at me saying she cant do jack 😭🥹 does anyone know what can be done? Or does anyone know where i can get a reply from? 

Thanks guys, love peace and harmony 🙏

That's normal and not an issue. I only have first and last name, my evisa has my family name first then first name.

My dependants have middle names and their visas (sticker in passport) also has family name, first name then middle name.

It was my issue because I have 2 words in my first name and no middle name in my passport , so to be exactly the same the first part my name is the first name and second part became my middle name them last name. I wonder if you filled in the form in the usual American way with your last name last..or did it Korean way?

Will the name order on a DTV cause issues at Thailand Airport Immigration?
