Imagine this: You're finally planning that long-awaited trip to Oman. Flights booked, itinerary mapped out, bags halfway packed, and you're just about to submit your visa application. Then it hits you: You need a passport-style photo that meets specific government standards. You quickly scroll through your camera roll, but nothing works.
