how do you know it was the expiry year, did they tell you or did you have a screenshot etc or the application saved? For me it was no way to know what we had written. It could have been the embassy staff that made a mistake also for all that I know.
yes I know all that. But the tourist visa used to be cheaper so it didn't cost them that much to check the passport data for that visa. Anyway, just a reminder for everyone to be very nervous and double and triple check everything many times. And if you change anything (new upload etc) then you have to triple check everything again.
