How to Avoid Inappropriate Light and Shadow in My Pakistan Visa Photo?

The color of your photo should be natural and the light needs to be uniform. However, we will inevitably make mistakes about light since we are not professional photographers and lack lighting equipment. We collect some tips for you.

• Take your photo in the daytime. The light in the daytime is much better and more adequate than that in the evening, so try to take your photo during the day.
• Find a large room with a plain white background. A spacious room usually has desirable light and is a favorable place to take a photo.
• Face a window when taking your picture. Taking your photo in the face of the window can make good use of the natural light and lower the chance of uneven light on your face.
• Turn off the warm light lamp. The warm light will make your skin color unnatural and influence the color of your photo.

Must I Unveil My Head Covering if I Am a Religious Believer?

No, you needn't. Pakistan visa photo allows you to wear your head covering for religious reasons. However, it does not mean you can hide your face. You still need to show your facial features (from the bottom of your chin to the top of your forehead and both edges of your face) clearly to prove your identity. Your eyes, eyebrows, or face should not be covered by your head covering.
