What the photo needs
- Plain white background, no texture, pattern or shadow.
- Face centred, looking straight at the camera.
- Both ears and the full hairline visible where possible.
- No uniform; ordinary clothing that contrasts with the white background.
Common questions
Is this size used for OCI applications too?
OCI and visa applications commonly use the same 35x45mm photo, but requirements differ by application type, so confirm against the current official checklist.
Why is white background emphasised?
Automated checks compare the face against the background. A coloured or patterned backdrop is one of the most common reasons an otherwise good photo is rejected.
Can I smile?
A neutral expression is safest. A broad smile changes the shape of the face enough that some automated checks fail it.
