    Your friend can enter "sharan preet singh" as the first name and "NA" as the last name. (NA = Not Applicable). And upload a cover letter explaining the problem.
    I have done this several times, and never faced any issues.

    Interesting. Please disregard what I said. Back when I applied for visas (1-1.5 years back) the first name and surname were both mandatory fields.
