Different types and sizes of photos for embassies & Thaigovernment?

[onlycw]

Years ago, a high school sent 2 teachers to the Labour Dept. En route, we had photos made. The Thais insisted that the biggest size be bought. Turns out, the smallest size was needed. That was 2014.

 

A friend has such a "monster photo" in his WP.

 

I just ordered a dozen regular passport size head shots.

...

 

Now, admin demands "2 x 2", whatever that means. 2 x 2"? The lady showed me a shot of the upper body. Oh, the Thai embassy is now interested in applicants' beer bellies?!???

 

The all important FACE is less clear than in my passport size head shots. 

 

Thais like to make up rules. A lot of people wish to avoid some unnecessary additional purchase of silly photographs.

 

Hope someone knows?

 

Thai embassy or consulate & Labour Dept. & ... ? Work-related stuff. B-VISA, then the Work Permit etc.

 

Thanks.

You have to check with the government agency you are dealing with what size of photo is required. Most Thai consulates have this information on their websites. Immigration forms that need a photo usually state the size.

 

Photo shops usually know what part of your body must be shown on what is called a "passport photo". if yours doesn't know, go to another shop.
