pictures for applications
Hi
Just reading through the application for TWP's
it requests 6 pictures of each member of the family. The passport machines only give you 4 from memory anyway.
Do you need to go to a photographer to get the 6?
Cheers

The instant machines in our local shopping centre did 6 pics at a time. You get to choose once you've put your money in. Have a looking inside one of the booths next time your shopping.

I recently had some taken for my initial application and the local Snappy Snaps down the high street were cheaper than the machines and you can specify how many you'd like. Might be worth a look.

We had ours done with the local photograph shop, local guy runs it and we took spec from CIC. Photographed all six of us there and then, and produced 6 of each person, with no problems and slightly cheaper then the machine!!

Hi
You will probably find that they aren't suitable for the PR Card and will be rejected by Sydney, meaning a trip to the local CIC for new pictures and another trip to pick up the PR card when it is ready, but it's your time and you probably saved $25.00

Re: pictures for applications
Hi, our 3 kids and I got ours done at a photo store, cost us $68.00 for 6 photos each. Background was requested to be white, which it was but turned out grey in the photos. I was a bit concerned but sent them in anyway. I took my husband's photos in our kitchen and printed them at home. All were accepted, we got meds request last month. I could have saved myself the $68!
