Russian Work Permit Photo Size and Requirements

The work permit form includes a portrait[1]. The listed source does not establish the photo’s dimensions or submission method.

Official Size and Guidelines

The supplied research did not verify an official size for the work-permit portrait. It gives 35×45 mm (1.38×1.77 in) only as a practical crop size, not as a verified common request. Confirm requirements with the issuing office; the listed source does not establish local requirements[1].

The supplied research did not verify an official head-height rule[1]. If you prepare a photo, keep your face centered as a practical framing choice.

Ask the issuing office what photo it requires before you apply.

The application may be filed by an employer or applicant, depending on the permit type.

Submission and Printing Details

The listed source shows the work-permit form includes a portrait[1]. The supplied research does not verify whether applicants submit a printed photo or a digital file, or specify a required size.

After you crop your photo, you can arrange it on a standard 4x6-inch sheet to print at a local photo kiosk. Check your print settings to make sure the dimensions do not stretch, shrink, or lose their proper proportions during printing.

If you print a photo, check that it has not been resized.
