I am studying abroad in Italy and I just recieved my visa. MY NAME IS MISSPELLED! Will this be a problem?

Question

The consulate added only one letter. HAMILTON became HALMILTON. I am supposed to leave in 13 days, and I don't know if there will be time to send it back to make the corrections. Please Help!! Thanks!

Answer 1

it could be a problem, but call and let them know. it's their fault anyway, not your (unless you filled in the form wrong). good luck and have fun in italy

Answer 2

You can give the Italian Embassy a call regarding this situation. A visa may not be re-issued however as there is too little time, but an exemption could be made.
