How do you fill in a travel or visa form if your passport has no patronymic/middle name, and is a passport alone enough for tourist processing in Istanbul?

Based on 2 discussions with 4 participants · Last activity: 14 days ago

TL;DR

In practice, forms should be filled exactly as shown in your passport; if there is no patronymic or middle name, that field is usually left blank. For regular tourist processing, your passport is the key document, and extra papers are often not needed if your booking is already in the system.

If you do not have printed documents with you, that is usually not a problem: for check-in or routine processing, your international passport is often enough, and the hotel or host may already have your booking details in their system.

Tourists do not always carry extra paperwork, and this is not necessarily an issue if you are going to a specific hotel that already has your details. In practice, the main thing is to have your passport with you.

When filling out a form or registration sheet, use only the details exactly as they appear in your passport. If your passport does not include a patronymic or middle name, that field is usually left blank.

If you are given an extra paper form, it is usually straightforward and completed using the information from your passport. Keep your passport handy, since all key details are copied from it.
