Adjustment in requirements:

We are aware of the latest developments in the rules and requirements that a country imposes on the passport photo.

To be on the safe side, always take the form that you get from your consulate with you when you have your passport photo taken. In general, the consulate is the first to receive the new rules. This way you always have an up-to-date photo.
