Indian Visa Photo

Just a quick note on Indian Visas, the normal passport size will not be accepted they have to be 2 by 2 // 50 mm square which is a none standard size, Ihad a lot of trouble finding some one who took that size. I did try MAX SPIELMAN the price for 1 picture £9.99 :mad: , after looking on the webb COSTCO where the best £6.98 for 2 sets of 4.It may save you some time looking around.

    Booths run by photo-me say that they do, but they dont i have just had a £10 refund from them, what it says on the outside is not what you get on the inside.

    I think 'some' rather than 'more' would be more accurate. I have never seen any which do USA / Indian visa photos.

    Why would you have had a £10 refund when they cost £7.
    Not sure what you mean by the advertising, if it says they do visa photos on the outside advertising then that is what they do
