thanks all abdurrahman / ramboo99 / nfiqbal / msiddiqui

my company visa department in charge said: they won't check each & every spelling of travelling persons name. they will just see the visa number & passport number. so, travelling not a issue.

once they reach, while applying RP: can we able to change?

change now, don't wait till they reverse your family(if identified) from the immigration at airport. i did the correction at Garapha branch, it will take one or two days to appear online.

Please find response to question, I hope it will be helpful for you.

1. You may visit Gharaffa Immigration office with documents and they will change it on spot. (Bring all documents photo copies with you, You passport, Visa, Visa holder passport..... just in case).

2. Not sure about wakra

3. Few seconds (If all other information are correct in Visa, for example Passport number, Father name etc etc).

4. You family member might face some problems due to this mistake from thier origination airport.

Regards

It is better to change before their travell , as they might have problem boarding plane due to spelling mistakes . Just take the evidence like passport copies to the immigration in Gharafa. Speak to the Captain about correction .They should be able to correct the mistake within no time if the mistake is minor .....:
