100% government compliant
Our system automatically checks and corrects your photo against all official Taiwan Visa requirements. If it's rejected, we'll refund your $1 immediately.
We never see your photo
Unlike other services, we never store or log your photo, and we don't know who you are and we don't need to. Your face stays yours. The one exception is the optional Expert Review: there you choose to share your photo with our reviewer, and it's deleted within 7 days.
