Slovenian Schengen Visa Photo Requirements

Official Size and Dimensions

The head height is not set by the authority in the current guidelines[1]. You must be careful to frame your face proportionally within the frame. Always check with the issuing office to confirm their exact current rules before you finalize your application materials.
