Short answer: an issued eVisa can't be edited. If the name, date of birth, passport number or dates are wrong, what you do depends on whose mistake it was. If you typed it wrong, you need a new application and a new government fee. If you entered it correctly and the visa came out different, contact the portal's support with proof.
Check these, character by character
- Full name, in the right order, with all middle names.
- Date of birth. Day and month are easy to swap.
- Passport number: the letter O vs the number 0, and I vs 1.
- Nationality.
- Entry date and the validity period.
Your typo
Submit a new application with the correct details. It is a completely separate application, so it costs the government fee again and goes through normal processing. Holding two eVisas is not a problem. You show the correct one. If you fly soon, use an urgent tier. See the urgent guide.
Correct in the application, wrong on the visa
That is a processing error. Use the support form on the official portal. Include your registration code and a screenshot showing what you entered. Do it early: replies can take days.
Don't fly on a clear mismatch. A wrong passport number or date of birth can get you refused at check-in or at immigration. A small difference in a middle name is more often tolerated, but don't count on it.

Can I travel with a small spelling mistake?
It is risky. The name on the eVisa should match the passport. If there is time, get a corrected eVisa.
Is the first fee refunded?
No. The fee for the wrong application isn't refunded.
I renewed my passport after getting the eVisa.
The eVisa is tied to the old passport number. Apply again with the new passport.
