I checked that several times.
1. The "Checking VAT/VIES Registration Number... Please wait..." alert, never goes away, after a VAT nr is validated.
2. The VAT nr is not validated unless the "Check VIES" btn is pressed.
Btw. I intent to implement auto insertion of the country prefix in the VAT field.
If are you interested in implemeted that in the core, i can supply the changes.
Hi Sakis,
if I can have access to the site where this is happening (just the front-end) then I can have a quick look as to why this is happening on your site.
If you do not want to share the url, you can also mail me (info@)
I am working locally atm.
Though the same happens in your checkout.

Something else that looks buggy.
When i change from a valid VAT nr to an invalid ,it still applies no VAT even after pressing the "Check VIES".

Regarding the country prefix auto insertion, seems like i have to edit core files (xml). So i will go on that, only if it will be merged in core by your side.
plz let me know what you think on that.
Thanks for the screen captures and the info. Currently offline, when I can reproduce will produce a fix for you to test tomorrow.
Please note that checkout / payment testing will likely not work on localhost as that is unreachable for PayPal etc. to send payment status to

This is fixed now (on my site): the issue here was that there is a country lookup based on the first two characters of the VAT number. Some countries have a different two-letter country code for VAT > Greece > GR and for VAT GR or EL
So the issue here was that EL didn't resolve back to Greece.
The lookup is now done on both two-letter code and two-letter VAT code.
Still need to resolve the incorrect message (please wait) when an invalid country is entered in the VAT code: it should state that it incorrect instead of just displaying please wait.
Tomorrow I have some more time.
Fix will be in next release (planned for next week)
if you can't wait:
in ./administrator/components/com_ochsubscriptions/libraries/OCH/Ochsubscriptions/Country.php, replace function getCountryByCountryCode($country = null) with
