I do not know what the coordinates of the city where I am based are.You can use the online Latitude and Longitude Finder.
I do not know what to include in the intent letter.You can download the template intent letter by clicking on the related hyperlink in the text below the upload button.
I have completed the form but when I clicked on 'Submit' I got an error message.This could be due to the fact that under 'Duration time' you have added a start date but no end date.

You should then be able to submit your application.
