It must be entered according to the machine read strip of letters at the bottom of your passport bio page.

Anonymous participant 773 For English, in which you must complete the application, yes. Unless you fancy doing it in Thai? ;)

This! It is; I've had the ö in the past....

I thought it does say that, but forgive me if I'm misremembering and it's a different application.

@Stefan *****

What does the bottom machine strip say though?

@Stefan *****

I've never heard of a title being checked against a passport - moreso the gender should be correct. Titles are generally considered customary, not required. It's not actually a part of your legal name.

@Elías *******

Do you think the machine readable portion of his/her passport has that? Does yours have "í"? Does the website not state that's what should be followed? They've already stated they've been travelling for a long time. I'm surprised they've not been subjected to multiple ID checks when flying, if they've been doing the "o" and not "oe" for flights for some time, and clearly should be aware.

LTR is just advantageous, if you're in that category of income or investment potential, but it takes longer.

Did you write it as in the machine read line at the bottom of your passport? That's the way most systems match it. (No ö anymore, but other characters, and this is the advice we've been given.)
