True for the digital nomads, yes. It wouldn't make sense if a so-called digital nomad couldn't do that properly. But the visa is also open to soft power (muay thai, cooking, etc.) candidates and people getting medical treatments, which are usually old folks and do not necessarily have deep computer skills (some might have, but it's not a requirement).

@Roberto ********

absolutely NOT

@Alexis *****

In most cases, the common sense will be used, and a human could see it's the same. But when they rely 100% on the computer only, any mismatch would trigger a rejection. My MRZ has no í, and so the instructions on the website could be better, especially for those using non-English languages.

@Cliff ********

in his case is NOT a failure. The system won't accept that letter. In his case he's supposed to do not writte that "special" character.

@Paula *******

Call it unfair, but at least they tell you in advance that they won't allow to do changes and that the money will not be refunded.

Participante anónimo 798 I don't see how that's related to the OP situation, but for me, calling the police, Immigration or whatever authority when a person can't or don't want to pay a bill at a hospital, hotel, restaurant, etc. it's pretty obvious AND fair 🤷🏻
