Visa-exempt nationals must have the NZETA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before they can travel. Travelers must fill out an online application, which involves sending in a digital photo that meets the requirements for a passport. This picture needs to match biometric criteria, which are similar to those for a passport photo but with distinct sizes and formats.

Make sure to check how your photo will appear when printed to get the result. Save your photo in the format as instructed. It's important to understand the specifications, for passport and visa photos. Here are some common requirements:
Technical requirements if you are going to process the photo yourself through Photoshop or other services:
In the New Zealand, a photo for visa photo must be 540x720 px in size. Photographs that deviate from these requirements will not be considered and will have to be retaken by the applicant.
New Zealand NZETA photos must be taken in color to help officials identify you. Furthermore, the picture should be taken against a neutral background, white or off-white in color. This helps to ensure that the photograph is clear and that it stands out as it should, without any distractions. You should not digitally enhance your photograph; this includes adjusting the color balance.
It’s important that your New Zealand NZETA photograph is high-quality and clear, as this will make it easier for border officials to make it out and compare it to you. To that end, you should ensure that you use a resolution of no less than 1 DPI (dots per inch). Ideally, you should use a resolution of at least 2 DPI, but between 1 and 2 should be fine. Just remember, the clearer and more satisfactory your picture, the less likely your application is to be rejected; aim for a file size of between 1 MB and 15 MB.
When you take a picture for a Kenya visa, there is a particular dress code you must adhere to. The main points of this dress code are that you must:
If you adhere to these simple instructions and ensure that your picture is well-lit and of a high quality, your photograph should be satisfactory.
It’s essential that the photo quality is satisfactory. Ensure your picture is clear and properly focused, free of blur or noise. You should also make sure that it isn’t visibly pixelated and that it has been printed onto either matte or glossy photographic paper, as opposed to plain printer paper.
An New Zealand NZETA picture must have both sufficient detail and high contrast. So, to ensure that your photograph is suitable, be sure to take it against a plain, neutral background, either white or off-white in color. This is important, as it helps you stand out in the picture. Additionally, be careful that there is no shadow in the photo, particularly any obscuring the face.
Open up the PhotoGov.net photo service and take your picture. Make sure you’re not wearing any headcovers or glasses, do not wear a uniform, and keep your expression neutral. Ensure that the area is well-lit and that you are standing against a neutral background.
Clean background. More light. Not a blurry photo.

When taking pictures of babies and children for visa, many of the same rules apply; for example, they must still adhere to the dress code, and the photograph must be high-quality and well-lit. With that being said, the State Department is generally more forgiving when it comes to the neutral expression requirement.
