What size is a Schengen visa photo?
A Schengen visa photo is 35×45 mm in portrait orientation, with the head measuring 32-36 mm from chin to crown — 70-80% of the frame. The background must be plain off-white or light grey (never pure white, never coloured). The photo must be in colour, taken within the last 6 months, with a neutral expression, mouth closed, no glasses, looking directly at the camera. The same ICAO 9303 specification is accepted by all 29 Schengen states — France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Iceland and Liechtenstein. complypic generates one Schengen-compliant photo that works at every embassy and VFS / BLS / TLScontact application centre.
The Schengen Visa Code mandates a single photo specification across all 29 member states. The same 35×45 mm file works at every embassy and at VFS, BLS and TLScontact application centres.
