“photo must be a recent 4x6 cm image in JPG or JPEG format”
Common mistakes
- A busy or uneven background, or one that isn't white.
- Wearing glasses.
- A smile with the mouth open, or any expression that isn't neutral.
- A file of the wrong size or type. It must be: 2:3 (width to height), up to 2 MB, JPEG.
- A photo that was retouched, filtered or had its background replaced.
PassPic can't measure some things, so check them yourself: glasses, head coverings and hair over the eyes.
How PassPic helps
PassPic checks your photo against these rules on your phone and marks each check Passed, Check or Fix, with a one-line tip. It crops and scales the photo to size and never changes your face or your background. Your photo is checked on your phone and never uploaded.
PassPic is coming to Google Play.
We can't promise that any office will accept a photo; the issuing authority decides. Rules change, so read evisa.gov.vn before you send your photo. PassPic is an independent app. Not affiliated with any government.
