EU Schengen Visa Photo 35x45mm

EU Schengen visa photos must be exactly 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm). Your face should cover 70-80% of the photograph. The height of the face (from chin to crown) should be 32-36mm. Our AI tool automatically crops your photo to these exact specifications.

EU Schengen visa photos require a light grey, light blue, or plain white background. The background must be uniform with no patterns or shadows. Our AI tool automatically removes your existing background and replaces it with a compliant light grey or white background.

No. EU Schengen visa photos require a neutral expression with your mouth closed. You should not smile, frown, or show teeth. Your eyes must be open and clearly visible. Keep a natural, relaxed expression.

Yes! All 26 Schengen countries follow the same ICAO 9303 standards for visa photos. This means a photo compliant for France is also compliant for Germany, Italy, Spain, and all other Schengen countries. Our tool ensures 100% compliance with these unified standards.

Glasses are allowed if they don't cause reflections or cover your eyes. However, it's recommended to remove them to avoid issues. Head coverings are only permitted for religious reasons, and your face must still be fully visible from chin to forehead and both sides.

Your visa photo must have been taken within the last 6 months. The photo should reflect your current appearance. If your appearance has changed significantly (weight loss/gain, facial surgery, etc.), you need a new photo.
