Photograph Specifications

1. Fill the Frame: Your photo must show your entire head, from the top of your hair to the bottom of your chin. Your head height measured from the top of your head including the hair to the bottom of your chin must be around 70% of the photo's total height. Upload photo in a vertical orientation. Expression should be neutral and with your mouth closed. Please find a sample photo above.
2. Head Orientation: Head orientation is important when taking your visa photo. Frame yourself within the photo so that your full-face shows. Face directly toward the camera and make sure your eyes are open. Headgear, hat or earphone are not acceptable, except when used for religious reasons. They cannot however prevent a perfect view of the face of the applicant.
3. Stay Center: The applicant's face and shoulders must be centralized on

the camera and he/she must be looking into the camera.

4. Show Your Eyes: Make sure your eyes are open. If you are wearing spectacles ensure that flash is not coming on the eyeballs. If you have long hair, make sure that your hair does not cover your eyes.
5. Background: The area behind you in the photo should be with whitelight background. Sit straight in front of a plain white or off-white background for best results. There should be no obstacles or any furniture behind.
6. Clarity of the photograph: Ensure that the image is clear without any blurriness. Make sure to sit straight so that your face is fully-lit and no distracting shadows across your face or in the background.
