• Light. Make sure that there are no shadows on your face, your shoulders or the background. 
• Glasses. You are not supposed to wear your tinted glasses or sunglasses when taking a photo.

What to Wear When Taking Your European Union Visa Photo?

The choice of clothes also matters. The key point is to distinguish the color of your clothes from the background color. That is to say, avoid wearing white when taking your visa picture.

In addition, try to put on clothes with a normal pattern.
