Error on my visa

Country forums / Central Asia / Uzbekistan

Hi Everyone,

I have a tourist visa for Uzbekistan, but I noticed that my middle name is spelled with one letter off. I don't know if I made the mistake or they did. I called the embassy and they said it wouldn't matter, that the passport number is the important thing. Still I've always heard that Uzbek officials are sticklers for detail. Should I be worried about this, and what, if anything, can I do?

Thanks.

Don't worry. Transliteration errors are common. As long as the passport number and validity dates match the visa info entered in the system, you won't have a problem.
