given name confusion with single letter

[savithari]

My father-in-law's given name is Srikantier in the passport.

The visa stamped has Srikantaier.

The visa was issued in Jan 2010 and so far they have not travelled due to various reasons.

If they try to travel this time will this extra letter in the spelling cause an issue ?

If he gets a Affidavit saying that he is know by the names of
Sreekanta Iyer
Srikantier
Srikantaier

carry that with him at travel time will that help ?

He is 79 years of age.

Do these kind of un-intentional errors occur and are excused ?

All other pieces of data are correct.

Contact VFS to see if they can get this corrected for you.

This issue has not been faced by anyone, in the sense a single letter being extra.

Are the travellers allowed to board the flight ?

Will the traveller be rejected/sent back at the port of entry ?

An affidavit will help ?

If you don't get it corrected, you are taking chances.

It is very subjective what will happen and no one can tell for sure.
