Photograph your passport

Follow the instructions to take photos A and B.

If there is no "anamoji" on the A or B pages of your passport, you will also need to take a photo of page C.

A page with your name on it

Pages with short-term visa or sticker for extension of period of stay

[For the right page]

[For left page]

A photo showing that A and B are pages of the same passport

*If there is anamoji on both page A and page B, photo C is not necessary.

[If B is the right page]

Take a photo of your entire passport so that pages A and B fit into one photograph.

[If B is the left page]

If pages A and B are on the left, fold the page so that the sticker on page B is visible before taking the photo.

Good photo

Photos in which faces and text are clearly visible

Bad photo

Photos where the faces and text are hard to see due to glare
