Travel Info
I will be studying abroad in Germany for about four months and I have to get a student visa. I have to have a passport sized pic for it, and it has to be in a biometrical format. First off, what is a biometrical passport pic? Secondly, what does one look like and lastly, how do I obtain one? Can I use a home personal picture program such as Kodak and a digital camera and make one at home, or do I need to use a professional printing service? All and any help would be appreciated!
Travel Tips
As for the picture, a biometric passport PHOTO is simply a portrait of you from the neck up with your head turned a bit off to the side. Make sure you have a neutral expression. Everytime I had to go to the "Auslaenderbehoerde" or Foreigner's Office as an American in Germany, I just looked for a friendly Turkish person near the photomat and asked them for help - they always knew the ins and outs! :-) |
