New Visa for passport re-issue?

[mib2006]

Hi

My Dad is getting his last name corrected in his passport. So he would be getting a new passport. He already has as 10 year vistor visa with incorrect last name. Does he need to reapply for visa once he gets new passport with last name corrected? or it is ok if can he use the same visa in old passport and the carry new passport along with old?

Thanks.

I believe he needs to go for visa stamping as names will not match when crosschecked.
