They do not have to be the official ones required for a passport . I usually print out a contact sheet of photos and cut them myself.

Among the most important of these is wearing long pants and long sleeve shirts while in Islamabad and on the journey to Skardu.<BR/><BR/>It's not illegal for people to wear shorts in Pakistan but doing what we can to respect local culture will go a long way in gaining the respect and acceptance from the locals.<BR/><BR/>cheers ChrisField Touring Alpinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854859430334159650noreply@blogger.com
