Sudanese entry visa for foreign-passport holders photo (35×45 mm)

Official Size and Dimensions

Sudanese applicants applying with foreign passports must provide one passport-size photo to the London embassy^[1]. The source does not define its dimensions. This guide uses 35 by 45 millimeters (about 1.38 by 1.77 inches) as a practice crop; check the embassy's instructions before submitting.

The embassy source does not give a head-height measurement^[1]. For a practice photo, center your face in the frame.

The embassy does not publish pixel or millimeter limits for the photo. Check its instructions before submitting.

Taking Your Photo at Home

You can take your visa photo at home using a digital camera or a smartphone. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of holding the camera yourself. Selfies often distort facial features and lead to poor framing.

Position the camera at your exact eye level. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the lens. Keep your body straight and relax your shoulders. Make sure your entire head and the top of your shoulders are fully visible in the frame.

Look directly at the camera lens with a neutral expression and keep your mouth closed. Avoid tilting your head up or down. Good posture makes a big difference in how professional your final picture looks.

Background and Lighting Setup

For a practice photo, face a window or use soft light to reduce shadows.

The cited source does not specify a background color. For a practice photo, use a plain wall without distracting objects.

For a practice photo, use soft, even light and check that your face is clear.

Printing and Cutting Your Photo

If you print a practice photo, check the print size before submitting it. The embassy source does not specify paper type.

Use a sharp pair of scissors or a paper cutter to trim the edges cleanly. Measure the printed cutout with a ruler to check that it matches the 35 by 45 millimeter target size before you attach it to your application form.

Submission Methods and File Rules

Applications for the visa may be submitted either online or by post to the Embassy of the Republic of Sudan^[1]. Depending on how you choose to apply, you might need a physical print or a digital file upload. The embassy requires one passport-size photo from Sudanese applicants applying with foreign passports^[1].

Always check the specific instructions provided by the embassy for your application type. If you are mailing your documents, print your photo on high-quality photo paper. If you are uploading a digital file, check the portal guidelines for any specific pixel dimensions or file size limits required by the submission system.
