Sunglasses or other decorations that cover the face are not accepted unless they need to be worn for medical reasons (such as eye masks, etc.) (see the regulations on the face above). If the person in the photo wears a traditional mask or veil, which makes his face difficult to recognize, such a photo will not be accepted. Photos of soldiers, airlines or other personnel wearing hats are not accepted. Photos of applicants wearing traditional tribal or ethnic costumes or other headdresses with no obvious religious nature will not be accepted.
