    USA visa application is hellish.

    Login is convoluted, and breaks password managers.

    It has a global time out somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes.

    On timeout, it lets you work, until you try and go to the next page, then just forgets you exist rather than saving.

    You can’t save pages that aren’t completely filled in.

    Some pages can take 20 minutes to fill in (it gets detailed, and you dare not mess it up).

    Oh, and it breaks pasting into some boxes, so no prewriting it in another document.

      Try doing anything with US customs. On the one hand, woe and Armageddon to those who do not enter absolutely correct data, on the other hand, you cannot enter anything but A-Z, 0-9, and a handful of basic punctuation. And, of course, addresses have American formatting and fields.

      One would have thought that a bureaucracy dealing with customs might have heard about foreign countries…

        I suspect both websites are maintained by the same team (assuming they are maintained). For one of the (supposedly) most technically adroit countries in the world, their ICT is truly crap.
