Comorian Visitor Visa Photo Guide
Prepare a photo for a Comorian visitor visa using the requirements listed by the Comorian embassy in China[1].
Official Size and Common Practice
The Comorian embassy in China requests two recent identity photos for visa applications but does not specify their dimensions[1]. Confirm the required photo size with the office handling your application.
A 35×45 mm (1.38×1.77 in) crop is a common-practice estimate, not an official size. The embassy page does not specify head height[1]. Confirm the requirements with the office handling your application.
The law says the Minister of the Interior issues tourist visas[2]. The embassy in China lists two recent white-background photos for visa applications, but does not give their dimensions[1]. Ask the office handling your application which size and format it requires.
Background and Lighting Requirements
The Comorian embassy in China requests two recent identity photos with a white background for visa applications[1]. It does not specify dimensions.
Set up your photo-taking space in a room with bright, natural, and even light. Face a large window to get soft illumination on your face without casting harsh shadows behind your head. Avoid using indoor overhead lamps that create yellow tones or dark rings under your eyes.
Find a plain, unmarked white wall to use as your background. Stand slightly away from the wall to prevent shadows from falling directly behind you. If your wall is off-white or cream-colored, you can hang a plain white sheet or poster board, but make sure there are no wrinkles or creases showing in the final picture.
Taking Your Photo Step by Step
Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera to prevent your facial features from looking distorted. Keep the camera lens at your exact eye level rather than pointing it up or down.
Ask a friend, family member, or colleague to take the picture instead of attempting a selfie, which often skews proportions. Look straight into the lens with a relaxed posture and keep your shoulders square to the frame.
Check that your posture is straight and your expression is neutral. Keep your mouth closed and look directly forward at the camera lens. Take several test shots so you can review the framing, lighting, and background before choosing the best photo to crop.
Glasses, Headwear, and Children
The official rules do not specify whether glasses are allowed in your visa photo[1]. If you choose to wear your regular prescription frames, make sure there is no glare on the lenses and that your eyes remain fully visible.
The embassy page does not specify rules for headwear or infant photos[1]. Ask the office handling your application about these requirements.
The embassy page does not specify rules for glasses or headwear[1]. Ask the office handling your application what it allows.
Preparing and Printing Your Photo
The Comorian embassy in China accepts applications by mail or in person and asks for two recent white-background photos[1]. It does not specify photo dimensions or digital-photo submission.
Save your cropped photo onto a standard four by six inch template sheet so you can print it easily. Print this sheet at a local photo kiosk as an ordinary four by six inch print just like a regular vacation snapshot.
When you print your photo sheet, choose a matte or glossy paper finish based on what your local kiosk offers. Use a sharp pair of scissors or a paper cutter to trim along the crop lines carefully. Measure the final cutout with a ruler to check that it matches the thirty-five by forty-five millimeter target size before you attach it to any paperwork.

This tool can help you prepare a photo, but confirm its dimensions and submission format with the office handling your application.
Upload a clear digital image taken in good light. Adjust the crop box to center your face correctly within the frame. Once you are satisfied with the alignment, download your finished file and prepare it for printing or online submission.
