I have a question hoping members can assist, I’m trying to get a tourist visa to Australia for thai mother in law . I need to get her name changes and mother to daughter evidence translated Thai-English . Will these also need to be stamped by MFA?

Thanks in anticipation

Hi, I'm planning to apply non-o visa based on marriage in Ho Chi Minh. All things are clear and all documents I have in place.

But my wife has changed her firstname. Original marriage certificate and her house book are on her previous name. She has an official document which shows that she has changed her name, also her new id card is with her current name!

So I'm just wondering how they will react in Ho Chi Minh Thai consulate.
