#askfedi hey, people who have had experiences with filing up visas in europe, or czech republic:
-
@mynameistillian double check if you’ve entered the wrong country? Usually these fields should update themselves based on the country you selected for the address
@zoec it's a pdf document i don't think it updates like that

@zoec @mynameistillian hehe double czech
*runs away*

are you fucking kidding me
@mynameistillian that’s how i would do it too. given the size of czech consulate, it’s safe to expect that a human still reads the forms if it’s a fill-out pdf

are you fucking kidding me
@mynameistillian@plush.city This such a strange thing. But I heard that for packages from Germany to Austria (Austrias Postcode is only 4 digits) you may enter a zero in front and may still get the package.

#askfedi hey, people who have had experiences with filing up visas in europe, or czech republic:
how do you enter your postcode if in your country postcodes are six characters long but the visa form only has space for five because they're five characters long in czech republic?
i am really afraid of messing up and getting a visa denial over small crap like that, and my visa coordinator is offline bc it's saturday
so please help or

@mynameistillian@plush.city is it an electronic form or a paper form?
It's most likely fine to enter it in the box anyway but make sure it doesn't look like a mistake -
@mynameistillian oh no oops
@zoec @mynameistillian Well, some non-portable so-called "Portable Document Format" documents embed horrible cursed JS that could do stuff, but it seems the Czech are not using this abominations from Adobe.

@mynameistillian Not funny because of your stressful context, but I laughed hard indeed 😬 — /airhug from a French-born living in Switzerland, having sometimes to explain the looooong and hard way to limited people that postcodes and phone numbers here are not THE SAME 😅 (the exotism and profound differences between these specific 2 countries, right? 🙄)

@mynameistillian I find solace in the fact that if we are still at the “filling in paperwork with solid chances of getting approved smoothly” experience of it, we are privileged (and given my demographics, me above a lot of people), but yeah.
