01
Procedure steps.
Follow the stated order and check each item on the official portal.
1
Check the exact application
Residence permit applications do not all follow the same route. Read the official page for your situation and the document list displayed in your own application.
2
Identify the ePhoto requirement
When the document list mentions an e-photo or ANEF displays a dedicated field, prepare a digital photo and signature and keep the associated code.
3
Open the correct ANEF route
Use the official portal and select the exact reason, such as a first application, renewal or change of situation. Studio ePhoto does not determine eligibility.
4
Enter the code in the ePhoto field
Copy the complete code only into the ePhoto field. Do not confuse it with a foreign-national number, application number or sign-in identifier.
5
Keep proof of filing
Review the application before submitting and keep the receipt or confirmation issued by ANEF. The ePhoto code is only one item in the administrative file.
02
Points to check.
Useful answers before submitting the application.
No. The permit category, reason and filing method determine the required documents. Use an ePhoto only when the official instructions or your ANEF route request one.
No. It lets the portal retrieve the digital photo and signature; identity, address and situation evidence remain separate.
Note the exact message and check the field and entry before taking another photo. Contact Studio ePhoto for the order and ANEF support for the administrative application.
