  3. Upload the Photo

    Make sure the lighting is soft and even. Your head should be straight, expression neutral

Tips for Taking Good Visa Photos

Lighting: Use indirect daylight or soft indoor lighting. Avoid overhead lights and harsh shadows.

Background: A white or light-colored wall is ideal. We will correct imperfections if needed.

Camera Setup: Use a tripod or ask someone to help. Keep the camera at eye level.

Posture: Sit or stand upright. Look directly into the camera with a relaxed, neutral expression.

Avoid Filters: Do not use beauty filters or apps — this can lead to rejections.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Submitting the wrong size (e.g., passport-size instead of 50x60 mm)

Wearing white clothing on a white background

Blurry or underexposed images

Smiling or raising eyebrows

Using selfies with unnatural angles

Background shadows or visual distractions

Wearing glasses or accessories that cover part of the face

Our system automatically detects and corrects these issues during processing.

Guidelines for Printing and Online Submission

Printing: Use high-quality photo paper (glossy or matte). Ensure size is exactly 50x60 mm when printing.

Digital Submission: Upload the JPEG file provided by PhotoGov. Confirm file size and resolution on your consulate’s portal.
