Passport Photos: Photo Studio or Photo Booth?

Passport and visa photos are a crucial part of travel and residency applications. Your photo must meet strict standards and biometric requirements. Visit our main passport photos page for all the guidelines and options in Ghent.
Why quality and speed matter
A photo for a passport, eID or visa is more than just a picture. Official authorities require a neutral expression, even lighting and the correct background. In a busy city like Ghent, you do not want to waste time dealing with a rejected passport photo.
That is why choosing between a photo studio and a photo booth matters. Compare the two options below, and find further details on our passport photos page.
