Réunionese Residence Permit Photo

The E-Photo in a Réunion Residence-Card Application

Foreign residents applying for a titre de séjour in Réunion should begin with the prefecture’s instructions for their residence category. The island’s services distinguish applications handled online from situations requiring a counter appointment. This affects how the portrait reaches the file: an online residence application may ask for an e-photo code, while another procedure can have a different document checklist.

The national private-and-family-life residence-card guidance gives a concrete example of the e-photo route. The applicant enters the code supplied for the digital photograph rather than treating an arbitrary JPEG as an equivalent attachment. Check your own category before obtaining the image, particularly if you are renewing an existing card, changing status or applying for a first resident card. A photograph on your passport supplies identity evidence, but it is not automatically the new portrait needed to produce a residence credential.

Prepare a current recognisable likeness, suitable framing and a natural facial expression; the detailed photo requirements below explain the image standards. Review photo quality before accepting the final image and keep the code safely with your application reference. The photo preparation guide can help you understand the portrait preparation, while the prefecture and national portal determine the accepted submission method. Separate the photo information from scans of your identity documents and supporting residence evidence. If you need assistance with the online process, use the support arrangements listed by the prefecture instead of starting a second application simply because the photograph step is unclear.
