Why was my DTV visa application canceled due to passport issue details?
I am currently applying for a DTV visa in Taiwan. However, my application was cancelled for the following reason:
"Your visa application has been cancelled. Wrong Personal Info: Country/Territory of Passport / TD does not match with passport."
I suspect this is because I entered “Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit” as the place of issue. My passport is Japanese, but it was issued in Detroit. I believe this might have caused the error. I am thinking of reapplying, but do you think it would be approved if I set the place of issue to “Japan” instead? Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

gotta be careful, because there's a caer posted in this group that did same as you (added place of issue different than the passport country) and got rejected.I have the same case, a passport issued in a different country than my own, and I added my own country to my application and it worked. Hard to understand 🤷🏾♂️
Shuhei *******
OPOh, maybe I just need to put “Japan,” right? Even though “Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit” is written in the authority section.
