Hi guys from the UK. I've just completed the TRV application. On the declaration page my name is backwards ie surname first, should this cause me any problems if I accept?

Can I ask what documents you had to give them for your application ? did you give accommodation proof for the full 60 days

I’m about to apply now so trying to figure out everything I will need

Hi I gave them flights in, onward flight, passport,passport photo,proof of address (council tax) and as I know it is cheaper to negotiate with hotels,rather than pay through sites, I only booked one hotel for a week, and submitted that. It's my first time applying for a visa, so I am unsure weather that will be enough, however I did see a post on this site saying they only submitted their first hotel booking. We will see what happens.

You can pause the applikation at any point, if something unexpected comes up.

And start again from where you stopped.

Generally a good idea to visit the Thai embassy website in your country befor you start, there may be a lot of help to be found, about how to fill in the application, and when to apply.

Then link to it.

Some Thai embassy websites, gives very detailed help to make the application, and governmental websites are more trustworthy than private websites.

And you may get a lot of bonusinformation

check the website of the Thai embassy that you'll be applying through. Each embassy has different requirements and their website will show what they are.
