Misspelt Name in Visa

Just received my visa and they have managed to forget the last letter of my surname. Should I do anything?
I still have 4 weeks and this visa took two weeks by mail. We deal directly with the consulate here, but it would be a major hassle for me to go there in person.

It might be okay, but equally it might not. It depends on the vigilance and attitude of each of the officers who check the visa and there's no way of predicting that.

As you have plenty of time before you leave, I would be inclined to have it changed.

I called the consulate and they also told me to have it corrected. So it's not a bad idea to calculate twice the processing time when applying for a visa....
