Compliance Thresholds

These are the official measurements your photo must meet to avoid rejection:

Head Height

68% – 83% of image height

Printing Your Photo

Glossy photo paper, 40x60mm. Digital photos accepted for some online services (600x600 pixels minimum). Cut the photo to exactly 43 x 55 mm (1.7" x 2.2") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 3 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 43x55mm Photo

UAE uses the 40x60mm format (larger than European standard). For Emirates ID renewal through ICA Smart Services, digital photo upload is accepted.

Attach printed Visa 43x55mm photos securely to your visa application form. Some United Arab Emirates 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.

Common Rejection Reasons

  • Photo not 40x60mm

  • Red-eye or flash glare on face or glasses
  • Head tilted or turned away from camera
