  "title": "Austria Schengen Visa Application (Formular C1 / Antrag auf Erteilung eines Schengen-Visums)",
  "description": "Austria's implementation of the EU-standard uniform short-stay ('Schengen', category C) visa application form — Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 establishing the Community Code on Visas — as published by the Bundesministerium für europäische und internationale Angelegenheiten (BMEIA) for use at Austrian embassies and consulates abroad. The 37-field layout, printed declaration text, and required supporting documents are legally harmonised and near-identical across every Schengen state; this document models BMEIA's own central multilingual (German/English/French/Spanish) specimen, submitted by or on behalf of third-country nationals applying for a short stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area via an Austrian mission. Modelled from a flat/print PDF specimen carrying no AcroForm layer (0 widgets confirmed with pdfjs-dist across all 4 pages) — the source's own field numbering (1-37) is used directly as this document's field grouping and 'sourceRef' anchor, following this registry's established convention for numbered-line (non-fillable) specimens (e.g. 'is/skatturinn'). Fields 19, 20, 31, 32 and 33 carry a printed asterisk on the source: they are not to be filled in by family members of EU/EEA/Swiss citizens exercising their right of free movement (who instead complete fields 34-35) — a real conditional exemption stated only in the form's own footnote prose, disclosed here (in each affected field's own 'description') rather than encoded as a machine-checkable 'requiredWhen', since the source states it only as free-standing prose, not as a structured rule tied to a single yes/no field. The lengthy declaration paragraph the applicant signs (data-processing/VIS consent, awareness that the visa fee is non-refundable and that a multi-entry visa requires travel medical insurance, and the standard accuracy/completeness declaration) is paraphrased into a single attestation entry in 'documents[]' rather than quoted verbatim or split into separate checkboxes, since the source presents it as one continuous prose block ahead of a single signature line, with no per-statement checkbox of its own. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Republic of Austria, the Bundesministerium für europäische und internationale Angelegenheiten, any Austrian embassy or consulate, or the European Union.",

Confirmed with a fresh pdfjs-dist extraction (getDocument().numPages === 4; page.getAnnotations() returns 0 Widget-subtype annotations on any of the 4 pages; getFieldObjects() returns an empty object) that this is a genuine flat/print specimen with no AcroForm layer, exactly as GOV-2121 disclosed. All running text was extracted page-by-page with pdfjs-dist's getTextContent() and cross-walked by y/x position against the form's own printed field numbers 1-37 to build the field list; no field numbering, label wording, or checkbox option set was inferred from prior knowledge of the EU Annex I template without confirming it against this extraction. See VERIFICATION.md for the full sourcing record, the disclosed asterisked-field exemption (fields 19/20/31/32/33), the paraphrased declaration/attestation, and the mock conformance test run."
