❓️ What Should I Do If I Don't Have a Last Name?

🎯 Who is this for?

Students whose legal name includes only a given name (no family or last name), and who are filling out their profile or application on SpeedVisa.

❓ Question

I only have a given name and do not have a surname. Since SpeedVisa requires the surname field to be filled in, what should I do?

✅ Answer

If your legal name does not include a surname, you can still complete the form by entering a single half-width space in the surname field.

This allows the system to recognize the field as filled without entering false information.

📝 How to Do It

1. Click on the Surname (Last Name) field.

2. Press the space bar once to enter a single half-width space.

3. Make sure not to use a full-width space or other characters.

4. Save the entry and proceed with the rest of your application.

Important Notes

• A half-width space is the standard space created by tapping the spacebar on an English keyboard.

• Do not type a hyphen, dot, or placeholder like “None” or “N/A.”

• If you're unsure whether your space is half-width, try copying and pasting a space from this example:  → ← (space is between the arrows).
