One way is to take your own photo and then resize it to below 2MB (need a software). Then make background white (need a software). Then make sure the lighting is correct as in the light cannot be from only left or right (better to take at night to eliminate light interference from windows). Also make sure that the face is centred. And also make sure that the face is not too big or too small.

Another way is to just go to the Block 468 (maybe 467 or 466) across the bridge from IRAS and take the photos. Then go to IRAS (nowadays not many people on weekdays, very fast) and submit your passport application. You will then be informed of when to collect passport from IRAS later.
