German Schengen visa
I have a valid German Schengen visa which I got on my old passport. I applied for a new passport , when was issued, my name was changed slightly. My old passport had both my surname and given name (vijay kumar) in the given name column with the surname column blank but now my new passport shows my given name (vijay) and surname (kumar) separately (and correctly). can i travel with same visa ?

As i understand, in first passport you left your last name blank but in second passport you filled it with kumar. Please get in touch with German embassy and get this clarified. In my view, itshould be fine but It depends on how Immigration officer interprets it.
