I'm a PR holder, I'm planning to apply visitor visa for my parents. As per my passport, I do not have their surnames, only the given/first names are present. But, the surnames are present in their passport. Also, they do not have their marriage certificate, please confirm what all documents can be used for the same instead. (Spouse name is included in their passport though).
What will be the success rate in this case if I apply for visitor visa?

You will need a marriage certificate. Alternatively you can submit an affidavit if your parents passports list each other as spouses.

for the missing surname, you can execute a same name affidavit.
