Tips for Preparing Your Photos at Home
Taking a good picture at home saves you time and money before you head to an office or upload your file. Stand facing a bright window to get natural light on your face without harsh shadows behind you. Avoid standing directly under overhead lamps, as they create dark eye sockets.
Keep the camera at your exact eye level, roughly one to one and a half meters away from your face, and ask a friend to take the picture. Avoid using a selfie camera held at arm length, because close-up lenses distort facial features and nose size. You can use the tool above to crop your image to the correct 35×45 mm size and arrange it on a sheet for printing.
Before You Go
Before you visit an office or submit an online form, double-check your prints or digital files. Make sure the paper quality is high if you are handing over printed copies for your passport, national identity card, driving licence, or laissez-passer[1][2][3][5]. Blurry or pixelated prints are often rejected by reviewing officers.
Keep your prints clean and free of folds, smudges, or ink marks. Cut them carefully along the border lines using sharp scissors or a paper cutter. If you are applying for the visitor e-visa, confirm whether the portal requires a specific digital format or file size before uploading your 35×45 mm image[4].
