How to make sure your passport photo is not rejected

Hey guys, we just wanted to take a moment to address a point about which we’ve received a lot of questions. The PASSPORT PHOTO requirements! Besides being of the correct size and with a white background, some students still face issues when their photo is rejected during the document checking.

We’ve therefore decided to make a quick video showing you how to make sure that the picture you take is in line with EMGS Requirements. (Also, just a quick reminder, you can check the EMGS website for a complete list of the passport photo requirements)

Enjoy the video!

    For me, I think it’s better to take off a glasses while taking a photo for passport.

    If documents have already been submitted , is it okay to send a better passport photo in the process ?

    • mbwana 7 years ago

      You can do that by emailing the photo to them but it might be easier to just wait until they request a new picture before sending a new one.

      @nuhu_1 We recommend that you contact your institution and request them to review and approve your submission at their earliest convenience so that we can initiate the processing of your application soon.
