Will I have to pay again if I made a mistake on my e-visa application for Thailand?

I submitted an e-visa application for a multiple entry tourist visa. It came back and apparently I spelled my name wrong on the application and they want me to reapply - does this mean I have to pay $200 again???
Answer summary
If your e-visa application for a multiple entry tourist visa was rejected due to a spelling error in your name, you will have to reapply and pay the application fee again. This is a common issue mentioned by others who have experienced similar problems, where the error often occurs during the data entry or auto-filling process. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to correct such errors once the application is submitted.

One of the letter o in my name was auto filled as a zero. Hardly noticeable when I submitted it. I couldn't figure out why it got rejected. Be very careful. Never use the scan feature. Lesson learned.

How long did your take to come back? We applied over 5 weeks ago and the e-visa website still says “pending approval”.

long time.., if it is a METV, it might be okay, because it is better to get it shortly before the trip. But I would try to ask per phone or Mail.

Yes. For me it was the third application/payment (for Non O retirement) that was finally without spelling/number mistakes.

Yes, they make you pay another fee even if THEY were at fault, e.g an error in their translation/English. They refuse to communicate (Australian Thai Embassy).

Exactly what happened to me on a Non O-A application.

Yes. Mine did this too. Did you upload a scan of your passport page after you entered your details? Mine changed the spelling of my first name and I didn't notice. I had to apply and pay again. I wasn't happy.

Yep, 100% it means you lost your application fee due to a data entry error..

That means either you mistyped in the data on one of the fields you fill out OR when you scanned the MRZ area of the data page of your passport and it auto-filled out the information you didn't check to see that it was actually correct (that's most likely what happened 🙁 )

I wish that the eVisa site had this pop up before anyone could access it, but sadly this is only thru the eVisa links from the Thai Consulates in Japan. Still it's good info for everyone... If there's a data entry error and you submit your application you cannot correct it. It will be cancelled, you'll forfeit the application fee and have to re-apply and pay again..

Sorry that happened

it's funny that we use computers to punish people instead of help us find errors...

I mean reasonably if the name you typed doesn't match the electronic scan they should highlight it and then you can either of them or rescan

it's always great and helpful to most people to have more warning pop–up messages, but, unfortunately, just like the "Cannot Apply for a Thai E–Visa inside Thailand" Warning, there are just so many others who ignore, are still not aware, or worse, attempt to circumvent such a simple, yet clear warning
