Re: Name Chaos with Indian Passport in Switzerland

Hi All,

I am having a really peculiar situation which is driving me nuts. I am having only first name(Siddhant) in my Indian Passport and as nothing works in Switzerland without last name, so migrationsamt people put my first name as the last name in my Permit(which is still in processing after 3 months).

So passport is having only first name(Siddhant) and B permit will have Siddhant Siddhant as my name.

At every other place, I am having my full name which is Siddhant Tomar(In my Company, Home contract). If I get a new passport here in Switzerland it will take minimum 2 months and then I need to apply for a new permit, which again might take a month and in between I need to travel to India.

I can get my Passport in India in 15 days time with full Siddhant Tomar name. So if I do that, I will have two different names on my permit and passport.

So will I have any problem in coming back here? Can anybody share his/her similar experiences.

Best Regards
Siddhant
Uh, that is so strange. I am from South India, where we always land up in a terrible mess because we rarely have a 'family name'. I know I am not being helpful, but I wonder how you have a passport with just the first name!? What does your school certificate say, for example? Passport authorities make such a hue and cry about all these things, and it is unfortunate you should land up here with a weird passport...

Good luck.. Maybe a new passport is a good idea..
