Photos for Your Venezuelan Family Visa (TR-FV)
You need the right photo for your Venezuelan family visa application. Use this guide to check the official requirements and prepare your print.
Official Size and Requirements
The cited page requires two recent, frontal, color carnet-size photos[1].
The cited consular page requires two recent, frontal, color carnet-size photos but does not state exact dimensions[1]. A 35 by 45 millimeter (1.38 by 1.77 inch) size may be used by a studio, but it is not specified by this source.
The authority does not set a specific head height rule for these photos[1]. Since exact dimensions are not published, you should always confirm the required size with your issuing office or organization before you print.
Background and Lighting
The official source states you need two recent frontal color carnet-size photos, but no background color is stated[1]. Try to use a plain, neutral wall if you take your picture at home.
Good lighting helps the consular office see your face clearly. Face a bright window or use soft lamps to avoid dark shadows on your skin or behind your head.
Stand about one meter away from the background wall to reduce harsh shadows. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture instead of holding the camera yourself, because a helper can keep the frame level and straight.
Glasses and Head Coverings
The official rules leave glasses and headwear unspecified for this visa[1]. To be safe, many applicants remove glasses to avoid glare and reflections on the lenses.
If you wear a head covering, ask the consulate whether it is allowed and what visibility rules apply.
Children and Family Members
The visa may be issued to children under 18 who are not emancipated[1]. The source does not give separate infant photo rules.
If you take a photo of a baby or child, lay them flat on a plain white sheet or hold them securely while keeping your hands out of the frame. Keep their eyes open and facing the camera if possible.
Printing and Submitting Your Photos
The cited page lists two recent photos among the application documents[1], but it does not specify whether they must be printed or whether digital uploads are accepted. Confirm the submission method with the consulate.
You can use the tool above to crop your picture to the common 35 by 45 millimeter size and place it onto a standard 4 by 6 inch sheet. Print this sheet at a local store kiosk as an ordinary photo.
Check your printed cut lines with a physical ruler before you go to the appointment. Make sure your face takes up a natural amount of space in the frame and that the print is sharp and clear.
Before You Go
Gather your paperwork and confirm with your consulate whether it requires printed photos or takes them on-site. The cited page lists two recent photos[1].
Bring extra copies of your photos just in case the staff asks for more documentation. Arrive early and keep your printed pictures flat in an envelope so they do not bend or get smudged.
How the Tool Helps You
The cited page asks applicants for two recent photos[1]. It does not say whether the consulate takes photos or requires a professional studio.
The tool never promises that the authority will accept your photo, because only the issuing office makes that final choice. It simply helps you format and crop your image easily on your own device.
