Preparing Your Mozambique Visitor Visa Photo
You need two photographs for your Mozambique visitor visa application[1]. Follow this practical guide to prepare your photos correctly.
Official Size and Requirements
The official information requires two photographs but does not specify their dimensions[1]. A 35 x 45 mm crop (about 1.38 x 1.77 inches) is a common practical passport-photo size.
You should check with your local consulate or the issuing office to confirm what they prefer before you print or upload your images. Head height is not set by the authority[1], so you have some flexibility as long as your face is centered and clear. Getting these details right helps your application move forward without unnecessary problems.
Background and Lighting
The official information says two photographs are required but does not specify dimensions or background, and 35 x 45 mm is a common practical passport-photo crop size[1]. To take a clear picture at home, find a room with plenty of soft daylight. Face a large window so light falls evenly across your entire face.
Avoid standing close to a wall if it creates shadows behind your head. Keep your shoulders square and look toward the camera. You can use the tool above to crop the picture.
Expression and Appearance
The official information does not specify rules for glasses or headwear[1]. Keep your face visible in the photo.
The source does not specify rules for glasses, headwear, or facial expression. For a clear photo, keep your face visible.
Children and Family Rules
Applying for a visa with young children requires patience and a little extra preparation. The general official visa information gives no separate child or infant photo rules[1].
If you take a photo of a baby or toddler, lay them on a plain sheet on the floor or use a car seat covered with a plain blanket. Make sure the child looks toward the camera with their eyes open. You may need to take many pictures to get one clear shot where the child is not moving or crying.
Submission and File Limits
You can submit your application and photos through consular or border channels, and some applications are processed online[1]. The official general page does not detail digital photo specifications[1], so check the online portal rules carefully if you apply through the internet.
For consular or border applications, the official information requires two photographs[1]. Check the relevant office's instructions for photo format and submission.
How to Take and Print Your Photo
Taking your photo at home is simple if you follow a few basic steps. Place your camera or phone on a stable surface or ask a friend to hold it at your exact eye level. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera to avoid distortion.
Check that your entire head and top of your shoulders are visible in the frame. After you capture a good shot, you can use the tool above to place your photo onto a standard 4x6-inch sheet for easy printing at a local kiosk.
