Is it necessary to change surname for spouse visa eligibility?
Is it mandatory to change a wife’s surname after marriage? If not, is it possible to get a spouse visa by showing the marriage certificate, while she keeps her father’s surname in her documents?

Sir, it is not mandatory to change the wife’s name after marriage. You can still apply for a spouse visa without changing her name, provided you submit the necessary documents, including the marriage certificate, to support your application.
