Middle Name Not Mentioned On One Of The Visas

Featured Replies

We are a family with 2 kids from Pakistan. We require tourist visa to visit Thailand. The same were applied for all ( myself, my wife and 2 kids ). As per local regulations we have to submit original return confirmed tickets as well along-with passports, photographs and visa forms.

When I received back all the documents with tourist visas endorsed, I noticed one flaw in visa of one of my kids.

Please note that we all family members have 3 names each ( first name, middle name and last name ).

On the visa of one of my kids, only his first and last names are written, the middle name is not mentioned. Passport number written on the visa is correct. The passport and ticket of my this kid has his three names mentioned.

Visas of all others have all 3 names of each person.

Please advise that will be it an issue with Immigration desk on the BKK airport ?

I would contact the Consulate. If this is the normal computer read visa most places issue and only two names are on it they may be concerned that it does not match the full passport scan name and ticketing information when the computer reads it. Travelers names have become very important to be exactly correct in the last decade.

I would certainly get it corrected. I made the mistake of putting my middle initial instead of the full middle name thinking it wasn't important. It WAS important to the Thai government and all had to be corrected.

You should indeed do as Lopburi and Gary say for peace of mind.

I think you will discover you need not have worried as the names are written.

If the names were printed at the bottom of the visa to be computer read then you could expect to be inconvenienced at immigration. So far as ticketing is concerned all that is required is first and last names, spelled correctly on the ticket - in fact when I travelled to the US and beyond earlier this year the agency supplied tickets only gave an initial instead of full first name. I thought 'oh oh' for 5 seconds then thought 'what the heck'.
