My name is printed twice in my Schengen visa
In the Schengen visa, my name is printed twice. Is this going to be a problem? Can I travel on this visa?
In my passport, I have only my given name. In the visa, it is issued to "Ravi Mehta Ravi Mehta" because, in my passport, surname is blank and my given name shows as "Ravi Mehta."
Surname is mandatory on the visa application form and it appears that they copied given name into the surname field.

I had the same issue for my wife's Schengen vise. I wrote to the consulate; they mentioned it's a regulation, which I feel means if your passport doesn't carry a surname, the consulate is required to repeat your given name twice on the visa. I am hoping it will be OK as we plan to travel soon.

Answer 2
This is a standard process. I don't have surname in my passport but it is a mandatory field on visa, so name is repeated twice at most places. Other countries may put surname as NA or even a + sign. So in summary you will be fine, i have travelled all my life with name repeated twice or with NA or with + sign...All works
