Surname field is blank in my passport. My full name is in "given name", so will that be a problem while applying for a study visa to Australia?
My actual name:
surname: Ganta
given name: Dheeraj
In passport:
surname:
given name: Ganta Dheeraj

No, it won't be a problem. This is a common enough situation that visa processing officers will have seen it before, just enter your names exactly as they're listed in the passport.

You don't want to do that; your legal name is that which is listed on your government issued id. Commented Nov 17, 2014 at 9:44

Ganta Dheeraj Kumar, is this variation listed anywhere (like say, in your birth certificate)?
