How to dress for a Guyana passport photo?

Guyana passport photo dress requirements are sufficiently mild and are in line with standard biometric photographic clothing recommendations.

Any head covering is allowed only if worn for religious purposes, and full facial features are clearly visible.

Glasses are allowed, but they must not hide your eyes or distort your facial features. Sunglasses are prohibited.

As for clothing, choose your usual everyday outfits that cover your shoulders. When it comes to jewelry, the Gyana officials adhere to some traditional rules: for example, men should not be photographed with studs and earrings.

The ears in the photo must be visible, which you should consider when choosing a hairstyle.
