Does the visa photo have to be the same as the passport photo?

The visa application photo does not have to be the same as the passport photo. On the contrary, many countries require that visa photos be taken within the past three months or six months. Sometimes passport photos are too long, but not enough. Don't remake the previous photos. If you are seen like the previous visa photos, you will also be said not to meet the photo requirements. Might as well remake it.
