I have the visit visa for my family, when i went to book the flight tickets the agent told me when he checked the names on the visit visa (Which was fisrt and second name, not the first and family name) that i should go to immigration in order to fisx the names to be first and family name or my family wont be able to enter Qatar

Is this true? as far as i know the only thing that do realy matter is the passport number, should i go to immigration to ask them to modify the names as the travel agent advice? will be a trouble to do so? can i visit any immigration office or i must go the the one that issued the visit visa?

Your advice will be very helpfull to me, thank you all

As my knowledge,

Only the problem in spellings ( if there is spelling mistakes)

No problem for first name, last name and family name (but all must be mention in your passport as name).

Sometimes in visa your family name is mentioned as first name, it's not matter.

To avoid problems of being offloaded at the airport, have the names on the visa changed as per passport. I have experienced being offloaded at the airport as the details on my visa did not exactly match my passport.

Its better to go to t he same place where visa was applied and take passport copy and backside copy also.They will change the name and your visa will show as IN Process In the system for 2 days and then will be approved.i ahve gone through the same process and was succesful.

Hope this advice will work and do remeber us in your prayers.

You have to go with a copy of the passport to the immigration and they can change it. Most airlines will refuse to board the passenger if they figure this out. hence its better to change it and its easy to do it.
