Name misspelled in visa status update notice

4/14/2017 12:32:16 PM

I got my visa with correct name. So here is how it works.

  1. Name on receipt given by VFS is just for tracking purpose and doesn’t impact your visa. But remember the same name get printed on courier sent by VFS, so you may have trouble with courier when they ask ID proof.

  2. Visa stamping is done based on details in application form and passport.

Thanks all for help and suggestions.

Better safe than sorry. Contact the embassy (preferrably via VFS, because they should admit the error was on their part and that you had no intention to mislead). I am aware of 2 cases where (a) the traveler’s name was misspelled on the visa but there were no hiccups during travel, and (b) the spelling error resulted in a traveller being refused entry.

So this needs to be tackled ASAP.
