Best place to make Biometric Photos?

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you had to make biometric photos (Link: like this) recently and found a good photographer that knows what he's doing?

I need them for a Thai tourist visa and a European passport renewal. I usually do my extension photos at ImageBank but they clearly have no idea how to make "proper" biometric photos :-(...

Any place you can recommend? Would be insanely helpful to me! Thanks!

Hey Jack,

thanks for the tip, it's really appreciated :-).

Did you have to bring the photo specifications and explain them what you want or can I just tell them to make biometric pictures and they'll know what to do?

I have this paranoid fear that I get the photos made now and in a month when I am sitting at the embassy in Manila they're going to tell me that something is wrong, they can't process my stuff and I am f*cked lol.....

 

Nope I just told them it was 2 x 2 photos for the BOI and they did the rest, never had a problem at all. They do all the Passport Photos and stuff for Siliman.

If you are worried take the Requirement form with you But the Word Biometric Photo, does have a Slightly different meaning here. Biometric to the Filipino is just Personal details so Please don't worry unduly.

Just did a US passport renewal in Cebu at the Consulate using passport photos shot by the photo shop on the 2nd floor of the Robinson's Mall, near Globe and SST Computer repair. Not a comment at all from the official at the renewal desk. They are very efficient, fast and inexpensive.

 

Jack, that's exactly the problem! I know that the BOI takes the regular 2x2 pictures without any comment. But if you get a PASSPORT renewal from your countries embassy or a visum for Thailand they WILL NOT accept 2x2 photos!

That's why I opened this thread to ask if someone knew where I could get "real" biometric photos which come with a heap full of requirements.

@tlrtraveler

Thanks I'll check them out :-). d*mn you're lucky that you can renew your passport in Cebu, next stop for me is Manila :-(.

 

One of the first questions they will ask is what is the Photo for, They will know, what to do. but I see Dustin has answered.

Not sure about German passports, but for Swedish passports they have a special photo machine at the embassies (and police stations in Sweden). They will ONLY allow a picture taken by their own machines.
