South Korea Passport-Foto

Photo paper, 35x45mm. Head height 25-35mm from chin to crown. Cut the photo to exactly 35 x 45 mm (1.4" x 1.8") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 8 photos at this size — a cost-effective option at any photo kiosk or home printer. Leave a small margin between cuts.

The background must be white or light and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

South Korea is strict about digital retouching. Photo studios near immigration offices and government buildings are familiar with the specific requirements.

South Korea passport applications typically require you to submit printed photos with your application form at a passport office, post office, or consulate. Bring 2 copies unless the application form specifies otherwise.

Photo recency requirement: Must be taken within the last 6 months.

For the most current requirements, refer to the official government source before submitting.
