Background Color of photo needed

[Max66]

Would someone know what is the color background needed for the 4x6 cm  photo required for annual extension? Last year it was blue still the same?

Thanks

Most offices don't care about the background color.

White or blue does not matter to them what which one it is.

Phuket does not need your photo, uses computer camera.

So what happens if you don't do the extension yourself?

You need to attend immigration briefly for the photo to be taken. A good agent will probably be able to arrange priority queuing so there is little hanging around. If using an agent, and you are not required to make an appearance at immigration, you should worry about fake stamps or an extension from the wrong immigration office. Avoid!

Sorry, no.

 

It is common to have extensions done by an agent, and I know quite a few agents who are doing this all above board at the Phuket immigration office. I have not done an extension myself in 15+ years, no issues at all.

Most immigration offices still want a photo for the the TM7 form when you submit it.

Your post is the first one stating that Phuket does not want one that I can recall.

Blue seems to be the standard background colour for ID photos in Thailand, judging from the various specimen samples on display at the Kodak shop where I get my extension of stay and re-entry permit mug shots each year.
