Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use an old photo?

No. Photos must be taken within 6 months. Officers often compare your photo to previous extensions in your passport. If it's identical to an older visa, it will be rejected.

What is the most common reason for rejection at Chaeng Watthana?

Submitting a standard 3.5x4.5 cm 'Western' passport photo instead of the required 4x6 cm size. You must explicitly request 'Visa Photo' or 'Four-by-Six' if using a shop.

What should I wear?

Wear a collared shirt in a dark color (Navy, Black, Dark Grey) for high contrast against the white background. Avoid white shirts.

Can I take a photo of my baby?

Yes, but no support (parents' hands) can be visible. The baby must be awake with eyes open, and pacifiers or toys must be removed. Lay the baby on a white blanket and shoot from above.
