Surname & name mistake on Schengen visa

Post by Harmandeep Singh » Tue Jul 11, 2017 4:38 pm

I have got my visa and it's showing my name as surname and in-complete name but i do not have any surname.
e.g. my name is Martin Smith but on my visa "Surname, Name" is showing "Martin Smith, Martin Smi."

Is it ok or not? if not then how soon it can be rectified as my tickets are booked and i have to travel after 10 days.

Please guide.

Just contact with embassy and ask them. They can advise better. Better to send them e mail or you can call them.

In some cases when the name is too long its just not possible for it to appear in the visa sticker. There should be a letter accompanied with the visa sticker. If it has your full name, carry it with you and show if asked. If that also shows incomplete name. Then get a written confirmation from the issuing country to confirm the visa was issued to you with your passport number and full name.
