Chadian Visitor Visa Photo Requirements and Guidelines
Get your Chadian visitor visa photo right by following official rules for size, format, and submission. Use the tool above to check your image before you apply.
Official Size and Dimensions
The Chadian Embassy in India’s online form asks applicants to upload a color photo measuring 2×2 inches (51×51 mm)[1]. The e-Visa portal asks for a recent color identity photo in JPEG or PDF format but gives no dimensions[2]. Check the instructions for your application channel.
The embassy form asks for a full-face, front-facing photo with eyes open and the full head visible from the top of the hair to the chin[1]. It does not state a head-height measurement. The e-Visa page gives no framing details[2].
Background and Lighting
The embassy says color photo, but does not specify a background color[1]. When you take your picture, look for a clean, plain background to keep the focus entirely on you without any distractions in the room.
Good lighting helps you avoid shadows on your face or behind you. Face a bright window or use soft room lights so your facial features are clear and easy to see.
Glasses, Headwear, and Expression
The official sources do not specify rules for glasses or headwear for this visa[2][1]. If you choose to wear glasses, make sure there is no glare on the lenses and that your eyes are fully visible to anyone reviewing your application.
The cited sources do not state rules for head coverings or facial expression[2][1]. The embassy form does ask for a full face, front view, with eyes open and the full head visible from hairline to chin[1].
Paper Applications and Digital Submissions
The Chadian Embassy in India’s online form asks applicants to upload a color photo measuring 2×2 inches (51×51 mm)[1].
On the other hand, the official e-Visa site asks for a recent color visa-style photo in JPEG or PDF format, though it gives no size limits[2]. Always confirm which platform you are using so you meet the correct format guidelines.
Taking Your Photo at Home
You can easily take your visa photo at home using a digital camera or smartphone. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture instead of taking a selfie, because selfies distort facial features and change your natural proportions.
Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera lens to avoid any distortion. Keep the camera lens right at your eye level, stand up straight, and look directly ahead into the lens with a natural expression.
Preparing and Printing Your Photo Sheet
If you need physical prints for a paper application, you can format your image to fit standard print sizes. The tool above helps you place your cropped photo onto a standard 4 by 6-inch sheet so you can print multiple copies at once.
You can send this sheet to a local photo kiosk or print it at home on ordinary photo paper. Cut the photos carefully using scissors or a paper cutter to match the exact required dimensions.
Common Reasons Photos Are Refused
Visa authorities often refuse photos that are blurry, poorly lit, or taken at an incorrect angle. Make sure your face is fully in focus and your eyes are open during the snapshot.
Submitting the wrong file format or incorrect dimensions can also cause unnecessary delays in your processing time. Double-check your application channel to see whether you need a specific pixel size, file type, or physical measurement[2][1].
