• The face should cover 50 percent  of the photo area.

Photo Appearance

• The photograph must be a full-face front view in which the visa applicant is facing the camera directly.
• The photograph MUST be in color and have only a white background. Photos with dark, busy, patterned backgrounds, appearing scanned or blurred will not be accepted.
• In general, the applicant's head, including both face and hair, should be shown from the crown of the head to the tip of the chin on top and bottom and from hairline side-to-side. It is preferable that ears be exposed.
