The UK is considered amongst the toughest countries when it comes to visa requirements. With rising threats and security concerns, it is only right that the authorities keep up to date with the security protocols.

This means that people of different races, religions and ethnicity should be aware of the UK visa and photo requirements to ease through the process. Therefore, if you are an Indian planning to visit the UK, we have got some tips you might want to consider.

Do Not Wear Anything Distracting

Although the Indians, especially the Sikhs are allowed to keep their turbans on due to religious concerns, other than that, you should not be wearing anything that makes it in order to identify you as the real person. For instance, women should not be wearing “mangal sooter” or “bindiya” for their visa photos.

Instead, you should keep a clear face with proper lighting for the officials to easily identify the person. At the same time, there should not be any shadows behind you, which is not allowed by the UK authorities.

On the other hand, males are also required to keep their faces clean and clear. This means that they should not be wearing earrings or have anything on their body that does not comply with the rules & regulations. The photo should be clear and focused with plain-white background and proper lighting.
