so what happens after you have submitted your application? how do I get on to the payment page? or do I have to wait for an e-mail?

You're waiting for a message on your Kompass account, it's taking a while atm...

Anyone else having to deal with not being able to do a bank transfer via online banking? I can't because I need a stupid card reader. Would I be able to do this in my local AIB branch? My head is wrecked -_-

I had it in jpg format and when that didnt work for me i changed it to pdf. The size is only 2.19MB and it says 5 is the max. When i hit browse i can bring it in but when i hit upload it disappears.

As i recall there's a view button beside upload if you click that after uploading the id, it should download the file, meaning you have uploaded it and I don't think it would allow to validate without that being uploaded.

I'm with BoI and I did the transfer online. First off, the IEC sort code they provided me was wrong and when I made the transfer, the confirmation I got didn't have my full name, my full account number, bank name, reference number for the payment or payment purpose/Payment reference number (the IE-001234 one). I called them up and have to wait for customer care to maybe call me tomorrow!! I would recommend just going to your bank

I cant seem to find that gary27. When i hit browse it brings it in and gives the whole file path in the little box. Under that then there are four buttons: save only, save and validate, my iec application page and proceed to next section without validation. If i click any one of these four buttons it disappears.

I am having the same issues as you. I think I will do all other info and come back to uploading the passport scan in a while, hopefully it will work then.

ok, you browse for file first then hit upload button (wait a min until uploaded) then if you want to save only or save and validate, probably try save only if not sure its uploaded.

Once I hit the 'upload' button, the box with the file empties. This happens with both a pdf and jpg version of the scanned passport.

Nope, just the page with my personal info (it is a new passport with no stamps)
