If in the Tax Exempt General section, you select EU VAT API option, you will be able to select which countries in EU will be validated for this VAT ID things.

Step to manage:
In the Tax exempt general section, tick on EU VAT API:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is a section called Select EU VAT for specific countries > Toggle it on and a list of countries will show up:

Tick on the countries you want to be validated only and Save:

Then in the cart, there will be only those selected countries appear in the list:

You can select the country that issued your Tax ID before entering it. The app will then validate whether the Tax ID matches the format and rules of the selected country.
If you disable this Select EU VAT setting in the app (toggle off the setting) or don't choose any countries for validation, there will be no country list shows up in the cart anymore. Then when a customer fills out a VAT ID, the app will validate the entered VAT ID against all EU countries. As long as the VAT ID is valid in any one of them, the order will be tax-exempt and be able to checkout.
