Precautions Regarding Face Photos for the New Residence Card – Avoid Selfies!

n issue that arises is the submission of:

Mirror-Reversed Photos

This often happens when the photo is taken as a selfie.

Immigration authorities will not issue a new residence card if a mirror-reversed photo is submitted.  
Even if you submit your application at the counter, it will be sent back for correction.

The immigration office will check whether the submitted photo matches the one used for previous residence cards or your passport photo, ensuring that it is not mirror-reversed.

To avoid this issue, do not submit a selfie as your face photo.
