Just run a "Visa, Health, and Passport" search and find that there is some text missing from the results. Can you check to see if this is related to the way EF calls and reformats the data or whether the TIMATIC entry is somehow garbled

It would certainly give me more peace of mind if running a search through EF gave me the same result!
