Hi. There is a mistake on the family visit visa issued to my daughter-in-law and granddaughters. The Qatar embassy in the Philippines is saying that the visa notice name is different from the name in the passport. Is there a possibility to get corrected. Thank you

I've been there once.....i.e in a similar situation and there was a mistake in typing my nationality!all other details were correct,and it wasn't  my mistake as well.thus they wouldn't allow me to enter the country and I had to go back home till another "corrected" visa was obtained. Hope ur case is not similar to mine but since then I started to chech every single detail in all my papers especially when it comes to travels!

To my knowledge you can travel with it since the other informations are written correctly including name in Arabic. However, make sure that HMC is aware of this issue so as to give you any assistance that may require at Doha immigration upon your arrival. good luck
