# Incorrect Postcode/Zip Validation for countries without Postal/Zip codes

 * When selecting a United Arab Emirates as the country, the postcode field is hidden(
   they don’t use postcodes). This is default WooCommerce behaviour.
 * Without Flexible checkout fields installed, the user can select UAE as country
   and complete all visible fields and checkout (i.e. the postocde is not validated
   as it is no longer present)
 * When Flexible Cheeckout Fields is installed and activated, selecting UAE as the
   country still hides the postcode field, but the validation remains. So it is 
   not possible for the user to complete checkout.
 * This seems like a bug. ANy advice on how to resolve it/get around it. I don’t
   want to remove the field entirely.

 * Hello [@chrispymm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrispymm/)
 * I checked it on a test installation and was able to submit the form without entering
   a zip code.
    Please check what validation is set in the _Advanced_ tab of the
   _Postcode_ field. The default validation should be set.
