Compile error in the real world, folks. I just got back from the visa application center in Mumbai to submit my documents for a Japan tourist visa, and the logic check failed hard.
The staff insisted my photos were “too old” (they were taken yesterday and met all specs) and practically forced me to use their on-site photo booth at a markup. Then, they pushed the “Premium Lounge” service aggressively, claiming the standard queue system was “experiencing delays” and I might miss my slot.
It feels like a scam designed to extract fees rather than a protocol. Is there a way to complain to the Embassy directly about these specific practices? I want to debug this process for others and make sure this doesn’t keep happening. I’m okay with strict rules, but this felt like optimization for profit, not security.
