      • First name: Antonius
      • Middle Name: Maria Josef
      • Family Name: van de Bangkok
  • Don't fill in an online application form with a different name from that on the passport
    • Example: if your first name is Robert, you have to fill in Robert, NOT Rob or Bob. Please stick to the details in your passport that is used to apply for an e-Visa.
  • Don't fill in with initial(s).
  • Don't use "e/v ..." as your last name
  • Don't use - or N/A or X or anything to indicate that you do not have that part of the name. Just leave that field blank.
    • Example: if you do not have middle name, just leave the middle name field blank. But if it is a REQUIRED field, please put "-" (dash).
  • Don't miss out space when there is space.
    • Example: if your family name is Ter Boos, you should fill in Ter Boos (with space between Ter and Boos) NOT Terboos.
