    £ 10 refund because thats what i paid for 2 sets of photos, This booth has pictures of INDIAN, AMERICAN, plus one other VISA on the outside of the booth, but when you have your photo taken its only a normal PASSPORT size, maybe you should check on your booth in ADSA STORE WALTON LIVERPOOL.

    The size of the photo required for an Indian visa changed in the last few months.

    As per my previous post Visa photos are £7 a set, If you only paid £5 a set you would get standard passport photos

    The Booths in Tesco do the 2" size suitable for Indian Visa as well as the UK passport size

    When did you last look, most booths have had Visa photo capabilities since the summer
    It has been a while admittedly. I've not needed photo booths for years. I'll have a look the next time I see one.

    Just to update this thread with my own personal experience in the event that PhotoMe have changed their offerings.

    In Nov/Dec my nearest Tesco PhotoMe booth had the facility to provide the 2" X 2" Indian size passport photos. Initially there were two options, passport photos and other with the 2" X 2" photos in the other section.

    Today the booth does not have the facility to provide 2" X 2" Indian size passport photos.. The booth appeared new offering only standard passport photos and (I think) a portrait, 16 x mini colour, 16 x mini B/W and fun photos.

    I did search/check/look/scroll/etc but there was certainly no option to select 2" X 2" Indian size passport photos. :)

    As has already been advised in this thread simply take a photograph at home and print it.

    I have obtained 6 Indian visas this way thus far without a single problem (1 adult, 2 x kids) twice.

    I posted an update primarily for the benefit of those considering using photome booths rather than faffing around taking their own photos, resizing, cropping and printing off on a printer they may well not even have, just to save themselves a couple of quid.

    Of course the other reason was to see if you could resist. ;)

    I really wish people would refrain from 'advising' others when they have no clue what they are talking about.
    There is no faffing around at all.

    Simply take a digital photograph (most people have a digital camera) and upload it to epassportphoto.com
    Select the country you require (in this case India) and either print it for free, or save it then print it at asda/boots/library/friends house etc...

    If like me you have to have 3 separate visas you save around £18 doing it the way I suggest, perhaps more (this is mse after all)

    No idea what your last comment about resisting meant? Resisting commenting on something I actually have experience of perhaps?
