Why does a couple’s tourist visa only require a photo of the man?

The reasons include visa application form requirements and dependent family member applications.

1. Requirements for visa application forms: The visa application forms of some countries may only require the personal information of the main applicant, but not the detailed information of dependent family members. In this case, only a photo of the main applicant (usually the male partner) is required.

2. Application for dependent family members: The visa policies of some countries allow dependent family members (such as spouses) to be attached to the main applicant’s visa application. In this case, only a photo of the main applicant may be required, while personal information and photos of the dependent family members will be submitted with the main applicant's application.
