Vanuatu Tourist Visa Photo Requirements and Guidelines
The visitor visa form includes a space for a passport photo, but the sources do not give a photo size[1][2].
Official Size and Dimensions
The cited sources do not state a numeric size for the visa photo[1][2]. A 35 × 45 mm crop is a common practice size, not an official requirement.
A 35 × 45 mm crop is a common passport photo size, but Vanuatu’s cited sources do not specify photo dimensions.
The form provides a space for a passport photo[2]. Check with the issuing office whether you need to submit a printed photo.
Background and Photo Box Rules
The official application form has a box labelled for a passport photo but does not specify dimensions or background[2].
The form does not give background instructions or photo dimensions[2].
When you take your picture, try to use a plain, light-colored wall behind you so your outline stands out clearly.
Head Height and Framing
The cited sources do not specify a required head height[1][2].
The cited sources do not give measurements for your face or chin. Center your head in the frame.
Look straight ahead at the camera lens with a neutral expression and keep your mouth closed.
Taking Your Photo at Home
You can take the photo at home with a camera or smartphone. Stand about one to one and a half meters from the camera to reduce distortion.
Face a bright window for natural lighting that lights up both sides of your face evenly. Avoid harsh shadows on the wall behind you or across your features.

If you need a printed photo, you can place the crop on a standard four by six inch photo sheet.
You can use the tool above to create a print sheet, then print it at a photo kiosk.
Common Reasons for Photo Refusals

For a clear photo, keep your face visible and avoid items that obscure it.
