I have a silly little question. I'm starting to put my documents package together, and when I took the photo that they required it dawned on me, should I take my glasses off so it is the same as my passport? Any other glasses wearers have issues?

TLDR : Answer Summary

When preparing photos for visa applications, it's advisable to remove glasses, as immigration authorities typically require photos without eyewear. This aligns the photo with the passport image, which usually does not feature glasses.

Thanks! I figured as much, and took another without the specs, but figured I would ask for the record in case any others hadn't thought about it because Thai embassies dont mention it.

Take without glasses. At Immigration Office, they make you take them off for pics.
