Renewed mine in September, and yes, can't smile anymore,straight at the camera, no glasses, no baseball caps, lots, lots, lots more and definitely no veils !
Even the size of the photograph has to be correct, a millimetre out will definitely cause rejection, and you in a certain postition in the photo .. took mine at the General PO in Accy and counter clerk stated "Well, yes .. should be OK !!" Well, hope so, did it in their official booth. (Twice.. don't ask) Luckily was, just in time for me hols. You should see the photo when it comes back officially .. that
cannot be me.
Of course, nobody should get through control without showing the officials their face ... utter nonesense. Do they ? Do we know for sure ?
Sad thing here is that these Somalians were let into this country in the first place despite having a string of known offences.
