In what foreign countries is it acceptable by JWs to have a beard?

After seeing the Danish movie "Worlds Apart" and being told on this board that it is acceptable in some foreign countries, how common is it and where?

I am not sure, but I did see a pic of JW with beard in one WT or AW in the 80's. Maybe someone remember that and post a pic here? I know it is a long shot.

A beard is not acceptable for elders in any country I've seen. Goatees I have seen on French elders.

I have heard of tolerance in this respect in France.
