YouTuber almost misses flight over her passport photo

Getting your passport can sometimes be a tedious process with all the crossing of the Ts and dotting of the Is.
But it is something that is necessary if you wish to travel. And with each country, the regulations surrounding your application are different.
For instance, in South Africa, you should not smile in your passport photo, and it needs to be a specific size.

She shared a travel fail that involved the photo inside her passport.
Red faced with shock, she tells a friend or the person videoing her that she almost missed her flight over her passport photo.
