Compliance Thresholds
These are the official measurements your photo must meet to avoid rejection:
Head Height
72% – 87% of image height
Printing Your Photo
Print on glossy or matte photo paper at 600 DPI minimum. Most home inkjet printers produce sufficient quality at this resolution. 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 light grey and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.
Submitting Your Visa Photo
Swedish passport photos are taken at the police station during your appointment. You do not need to bring printed photos.
Attach printed Visa photos securely to your visa application form. Some Sweden consulates require photos to be affixed with adhesive on the back — avoid staples which can damage the print.
Photo recency requirement: Must be taken within the last 6 months.
For the most current requirements, refer to the official government source before submitting.
