Note: While providing the information to take visa interview and filing online application

form visa applicants should indicate clearly in their Last Name and Given Name. Its
often seen in the case of South Indian names that passport issuing authorities write the
whole name in the Last Name field.
Applicants should check their passport and if the whole name is given in one line they
should get the same changed from passport office !efore applying for a visa."
It is advisa!le to get your spouse#s name endorsed on your passport !eforehand.
If after marriage your last name has changed then it#s !etter to endorse the change in
your passport !eforehand. $therwise you will have to continue your maiden name here.
%ake sure that the wedding al!um has sufficient marriage photographs. All the snaps
must !e very clear and easy to identify !oth the !ride and the !ridegroom. &hotographs
showing some marriage rituals are must.
''()ample: *ew photographs around the agni ceremony if your marriage is hindu
marriage.
+pon receiving your visa carefully check for any kind of mistakes like name date of
!irth type of visa validity date etc.
