Returns validation metadata for all form fields of the VIDEX short-term stay (Schengen) visa application. Each field entry includes whether it is mandatory, minimum/maximum length constraints, minimum/maximum numeric value constraints, and a regex pattern (maskRegex) that valid input must match. Internal valueListID sub-fields are filtered out. The response is language-independent since validation rules do not vary by display language.

Input

No input parameters required.

About the Diplo API
