TLDR : Answer Summary
The O-X visa application requires a file upload for the Biography section, which typically asks for a passport-style picture. There was some confusion among users about the application process, whether it's through the online eVisa system or at a consulate.

is this using the online eVisa system or are you applying at a consulate with documents or what?

@Ed ********
this is what WAS used when you applied with paper (I know it says OA but it's on the OX weblink for the thai consulate in NY)

how about just filling it out and taking a picture of it

I didn’t see that when I applied for (& received) my OX..

I too have never heard of that "biography" requirement
@Eric *******
I'm just curious, did you use the online eVisa system for your OX or did you apply with documentation at a consulate in your country?

yep, I know people who applied in person in the US and that wasn't a requirement either 😕 Dunno what someone would put in the "biography" section, maybe up load an old resume 😛
