Georgian Residence Permit Photo Requirements and Size Rules
Prepare a correct photo for your Georgian residence permit application by following official size and electronic submission rules.
Official Size and Dimensions

Crop the image to the required 30 by 40 millimetre dimensions before submitting it[1].
The source requires a color electronic photo measuring 30 by 40 millimetres[1].
Electronic Submission and File Rules
The Public Service Development Agency of Georgia requires an electronic color photo[1].
The cited official page does not state a digital file-size limit[1].
When you prepare your digital file, check that it opens correctly on your computer or phone. Having a clean image ready on your device makes the upload step much easier and faster.
Background Color and Lighting
The official source requires a color electronic photo but does not specify a background color[1].
When you take your picture at home, stand facing a bright window or use even indoor lighting. Avoid heavy shadows behind your head or dark spots across your face so the image remains clear and easy to see.
Natural light from a large window works best if you want a clean look. Stand a small step away from the wall behind you to stop shadows from forming on the background surface.

Taking Your Photo at Home
You can easily capture a suitable photo at home using a digital camera or a smartphone. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of trying to take a self-portrait, because selfies often distort facial proportions.
Use even lighting and check that the image is clear. Stand a few feet away from the camera and keep your shoulders level.
Keep your head straight and centered in the frame when you take the photo.
Preparing Your Final Image
Once you have a clear picture, you need to format it to the required 30 by 40 millimetre dimensions[1]. You can adjust the framing and check your crop using the tool above to match the official size.
