Photo specifications vary by member state & consulate
While EU Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 (Schengen Visa Code) establishes a baseline 35 × 45 mm specification, individual Schengen member state embassies, consulates, and authorized visa application centres (such as VFS Global, TLScontact, or BLS) enforce specific rules regarding acceptable background shades, submission formats (physical prints vs digital upload), and photograph age.
Official Guidance: Always verify the exact photo specifications with the specific embassy, consulate, or visa application centre handling your destination country application before preparing your photographs.

Foire Aux Questions
- What is the standard photo size for a Schengen visa application?
- Under the Schengen Visa Code, the standard baseline photo size is 35 mm wide by 45 mm high (3.5 cm × 4.5 cm).
- Are photo requirements identical across all 29 Schengen countries?
- While the 35 × 45 mm physical size and 70%–80% head height baseline are standardized by EU regulation, individual member state consulates may enforce specific rules regarding acceptable background colors (light grey vs white), number of physical prints, and digital portal formats.
- What background color should I use for a Schengen visa photo?
- A plain light background (typically light grey or neutral light cream) is standard. Always check your destination consulate’s checklist, as some consulates prohibit pure white backdrops.
- How recent must a Schengen visa photograph be?
- The photograph must be taken within the last six months. Consular officers frequently cross-reference the photo against previous passport stamps and visas to verify recency.
- What head proportions are required for Schengen visa photos?
- The face from the bottom of the chin to the top of the hair must measure between 32 mm and 36 mm, covering between 70% and 80% of the total photograph height.
- Can I wear glasses in a Schengen visa photo?
- Eyeglasses are permitted only if lenses are non-tinted, frames do not obscure the eyes, and there is zero flash reflection. Many Schengen consulates strongly recommend removing glasses to prevent delays.
