Hi people! First off Merry Christmas!🎄

I have a few questions.

Im a Swedish citizen who just left Thailand and currently in Da Nang to apply for my DTV.

Question one :

My passport states 4 names as my Given Names/Förnamn. (Example : Jon I Lars Fred Larsson)

But in Sweden I only go by one of them Lars, so technically the others are my “middle names”. But the name I go by is not the first one of the 4 names, it’s the 3rd. That’s where it gets tricky. But all my bank cards, credit cards and when I log on to my net bank state (example : Lars Larsson). How do I go about this? Should I separate it into first and middle names? Or maybe explain this in a separate letter?

Question two :

I could only choose to apply via the Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh embassy. But since it’s all digital do I need to be in any of these two city’s or am I good on Da Nang?

Many Thanks 🙏

Hello I’ve DTV visa already on my hand today but I’m worried that the name format on my visa page is not the same as on my passport as my last name came first on Visa page but last name on passport come last like XYZ become ZXY the thing is that we dont have family name but they put last name first as family name. Please would be appreciate if anyone could advise me if it can pose any problems at immigration, thank you. Sorry to post this anonymous as I supposed someone might know me here as an influencer. Thank you

Hi there! So I booked an appointment online at the Thai embassy to get my non immigrant visa. My middle name in my passport is "Jean Baptiste" and I'm pretty sure this is what I typed when I signed up to the online service.

I've just received mail confirming my appointment date and my middle name is written "Jeanbaptiste" without the space. This has been stressing me all day 😂 .

Has anyone encountered the same issue from this website? And will this mean trouble on the day?

Any feedback/solution is appreciated!

Thanks!
