Dear all,
Recently I got an offer and accepted the same. After submitting all the relevant documents, they said "your passport does not contain the last name ".
Somehow they added my father's surname in the offer letter. After that, I clarified the same.
The day before yesterday, they said, " as visa department request you need to add surname in your passport so we can apply for your visa".
Since my name is mentioned everywhere in the document (without my father's surname), it's next to impossible to add my father's surname to my passport.
Requesting you to kindly advise on the matter.

It is a rule by LMRA that all passports should have the full name i.e. first name and surname. They announced it repeatedly a few years ago. Visa won't be processed without it.

@XTang I already got my visa in Bahrain and I am about to move.
My 2 year old kid has only given name (Hasan Basari) and surname empty.
Will that cause an issue?
If I add a surname in his passport, should I change it in his birth certificate also?
birth cirtifcate : Hasanul Basari S
passport given name : hasanul basari
passport sir name: shameer
Will this work? Please reply

The name in Visa should match as per the passport.
If
passport given name : hasanul basari
If
passport given name : hasanul basari
passport sir name: shameer
In the Visa the name should mention - hasanul basari shameer
If in the visa the name is not matching to the above there is a chance that the kid will be denied entry.

I assume your visa has been issued and passport hasn't been changed? so both match, correct?
If so, don't do anything. Go to Bahrain and then resolve it as required.

@shammupoovar
As long as Kid has 2 words in the passport it will be approved for ex - ABDUL AZIZ - Approved, If the name is just ABDUL mentioned in the passport it will be rejected.

Immigration officials will not reveal the reason, it could be for internal security reasons.
