Fiji Work Permit Photo Guide
The work permit form asks for two recent passport-size photos for each applicant. It does not set an exact photo size[1].
Size Requirements and Authority Guidelines
The work permit form asks for two recent printed passport-size photos[1]. It does not specify exact dimensions. The Ministry's passport photo guidance gives a size of 35 × 45 mm (1.38 × 1.77 inches)[2]. Confirm with the issuing office that this size applies to your application before printing. The studio uses the size most often asked for because the authority publishes no single official size.
Application and Dependant Rules
The form requests photos for each applicant, including dependants covered by the application[1]. An adult must certify the reverse of each photo as a correct likeness[1]. Make sure every family member listed on the form has their own printed copies ready before you submit your papers.
Background and Lighting Instructions
The permit form requests passport-size photos but does not specify a background[1]. The Ministry's passport photo guidance specifies a plain light background[2]. When you take the picture at home, stand in front of a plain white or light-coloured wall. Turn on room lights to remove shadows on your face and behind you. Face a window for soft and even natural light.
Pose and Expression Standards
The Ministry's passport photo guidance calls for a neutral expression[2]. Look straight at the camera and keep a neutral expression.
Glasses and Head Coverings
Glasses are allowed under certain conditions[2]. The guidance does not specify whether headwear is permitted[2].
