Where to get passport size photos for extension

Post by random.thoughts » Mon Aug 10, 2009 11:01 am

I have always had trouble with photos prescribed by VFS during my initial application. Now I am going to apply for an extension next month. Can someone tell me please which is the best place in London to get these passport size photos?

The guidelines are here http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... pbs/193059

Dont go to automatic photo machines...

But if you go to any manually photo studio's (or some medicals do have the photo facilities..) they know about the HO PHoto guidelines and they do it perfectly for you..

just peep into one of those and ask them if they do the HO VISA photos and if they do, you r in the right place..

Hi,

When I had gone for my work permit --> HSMP (now Tier1) inital application early last year, I had taken photographs (for both me and my dependent) at Photo Me (self service kiosks) that are available at many train stations & supermarket stores.

They were well accepted at that time and am sure they still conform to HO requirements.

Thanks,
hsmp12345

During my extension, i went for 'Photo Me' box on Victoria station. It was accepted. But make sure when you finalise the photo(in 'Photo Me') you keep guidance in mind.
