Last name put as surname on UK visa. Would this cause issues at the border?
So my name on my passport is as such First - Middle - Last name (e.g. Tun Kyaw Min with last name as Min)
For me (and citizens of my country) we don't usually have surnames. On the UK visa application form I filled in a dash as my surname and for name I just used the complete name.
On the visa however it is written as Last - First - Middle name (e.g. Min Tun Kyaw) with the last name having been brought to the front & taken as surname. This is not an issue with airline tickets for instance as my name has always been printed as such (& is unofficially my surname). However I would like to check if this is an issue with visas?
There's no spelling error whatsoever it's just that my passport doesn't state a surname but just a name.
