I have recieved my visa number on a block visa but my name has been misspelled on it. Does this make a difference? The name on the contract is correct the same as on my passport.

Please advise.

Regards.

The only people who can 'advise' you on this are the embassy officials dealing with your application. They may make a fuss over the misspelling, or they may not care. There's no way we can predict this.

From what I have heard from my recruiter if your name has been mispelled it needs to be sent back and changed...

Well, if the misspell is in the first name and not the family name, then I think it should not be a problem, especially if they send the correct passport number against your name. If the mistake is in the family name, then you have to contact the employer to solve the problem.
