• If you have not obtained a new passport, and you still have your non-expired passport with your PRIOR NAME and a valid visa issued in your PRIOR NAME, please travel with your proof of name change.
• If you have been issued a new passport in your new name and you still have your previously issued passport with a valid visa, please request a transfer of visa and submit a copy of your proof of name change.
• If you do not have your previously issued passport, please apply for a new visa with your new passport with your new name.
