Best Practices for Taking a Saudi Visa Picture

These tips can help you to make sure your photo satisfies Saudi embassy requirements:

  • Avoid shadows by using natural light or gentle interior lighting. Stand by a window.
  • Use a plain white or light-colored wall. Our system will fix minor flaws.
  • Hold the camera or phone at eye level and make sure your face occupies roughly 70–80% of the picture.
  • Wear dark, plain clothing to offset the light backdrop. Don't wear patterned or colorful clothing.
  • Steer clear of selfies; use a tripod or ask someone else to snap the picture to prevent angle distortion.

    Mistakes Often Made to Avoid

    When photographing for your Saudi Arabia visa, keep an eye out for these typical errors:

  • Using the incorrect size—ensure it is precisely 2x2 inches (51x51 mm).
  • Wearing white or reflective clothing that matches the background
  • Relying on low-quality images or selfies
  • Wearing glasses is not advised unless absolutely required.
  • Ignoring or turning your head.
  • Background or facial shadows

    You need not be concerned about denials since PhotoGov will automatically address these problems.

  • How to take Saudi Arabia visa photos for babies and kids

    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.

    • If you are photographing a newborn:
    • Spread a white sheet out over the floor.
    • Place the baby down on the sheet and take their photograph against it.

    For slightly older babies:

    • Prop them up in a child’s chair against a white sheet.
    • If they are still unable to hold up their head, prop it up for them using a hand behind the sheet. Ensure no one else is visible in the shot.
