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 before applying for a visa.)

It is advisable to get your spouse's name endorsed on your passport beforehand.

If after marriage your last name has changed, then it's better to endorse the change in your passport beforehand. Otherwise you will have to continue your maiden name here.

Photographs showing some marriage rituals are must.**Example: Few photographs around the agni ceremony, if your marriage is hindu marriage.
