Wouldn't bother too much about that. Do you have any other ID with photo to back up.

I look nothing like my passport photo. Last time in US, immigration said I looked like a criminal. :rofl

Hi.

I've been in through Dabolim a few times and i look completley different to my passport, i've nerver had any problems.

You could always take your glasses of when you get to the desk if you're worried, it's not like you need to nip and grow your hair by a good 6 inches like I would need to!
:cheers

How are they to know that you do not ordinarily wear contact lenses and only wear your glasses when travelling? I used to wear contacts and only wore glasses on the plane. I now wear my glasses all of the time.

When I had my passport photos taken recently, I had a photographer take them, because my woolworth photographs looked odd. The photographer said that the passport office are rejecting loads of photos these days due to hair and glasses (narrow glasses like mine can cover too much of the eye), so I took my glasses off.

I think that with or without glasses you can still tell it's me.

We just stand in front of a white wall, and take a couple of photos of each other, then we print them off and cut them down to size, they have never been rejected yet.

We do usually do ours on the computer (and for friends) but the post office said the ones my friend took down weren't suitable that's why I did them in a kiosk this time.
