International visa photograph guidelines for embassy submissions, consular interviews, and entry visas.
Consular visa applications follow precise statutory guidelines. US non-immigrant visas (DS-160) demand 2×2 inch photos under 22 CFR 51.26, while Schengen tourist visas require 35×45 mm biometric photos taken within the last six months.
Top rejection reasons include uneven background lighting, heavy facial filters, smiling with visible teeth, and excessive digital compression.
