I tried applying for DTV on the official website today. I’ve a hyphenated name. Unfortunately it doesn’t accept the hyphen. So I’ve just typed in my name without the hyphen. Would this be a problem? Your input would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Update on my husband's married DTV with the Thai Consulate of Los Angeles: Came back today to tell him to reapply to the visa after he had mistakenly "forgot" to put a hyphen in his last name. Note: The message did not tell him that he's denied a visa.

Applied: Sept 12, 2024

Reapplied: Sept 28, 2024

At the end of the reapplication, was expected to pay another $400 (.... really?)

Remember everyone who happens to have hyphens in their names or some middle name. INCLUDE THEM! Save the $400 mistake that my husband made.
