Hi deemonisha,

Minor typographical errors in names is usually not a problem. The authorities would of course check the passport number which should match.

However, since you have been officially advised to get the names corrected you must do it. Since the mistake is not yours you would not have to reapply. Request the errors to be rectified and a fresh visa reissued.

Do all this using your company PRO of course.

Sir, when i have approched to the pro they said its okay as first name and last name are correct and passport matches, but in one of the visa concerned persons does not have middle name , but in visa concerns persons dad name they have considered as middle name. so i could not et help from pro but my family very tensed to travell to face problems at last minute.

please let me know if i will have any other options that i can do the corrections in visa other then depending on our pro.

please waiting for your reply.

If the name of the visa matches with the passport, your family can travel without any hazel, however any if any of the name (First or middle or last) is missing in the visa, it would be a concern.

So please check if the visa issued name has the same name as on the passport (Don't match the first and last / middle sequence).
