| 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 | |

Hi Siddhant,
I have the very same problem! In my Indian passport, my first name and family name are both under first name. So, with a little luck, the Swiss authorities did not make a big fuss about it (in Basel stadt, and in Basel Land), and put down the following in my B-permit: "First name Last name, First name Last name". Everything is fine till now, no problems. But, sometime down the line I would like to have the passport corrected, then the swiss permit, then my bank account....!
The other idiosyncracy is that I spoke with the Embassy in Bern - they can do the correction, but it effectively makes you passport-less for 2 months! Makes me wonder how they come up with these stupid procedures
