In between theses months I have also applyied a "right" back in my country to have an addition surname of my great gran mother this is additional surname is due to my artistic career. as I thought my gran monther surname loooked more strong , so It took time to have my passaport changed with additional surname which happened in SEPt and I knew if applying for the extension was waiting to have great gran monther added to my birth certicate so I wait that I could apply everything together no need to change later because of additional surname.

- I waited to finalize this change before applying for the visa extension to ensure all documents were consistent. Please find attached evidence of the name change process and the updated passport.
