Always verify the size before an official application

The information here reflects the sizes commonly accepted for visa applications. Authorities can change photo requirements without prior notice, and different documents in the same country (passport, ID card, driving licence, residence permit) may require different sizes. Check the current guidance of the authority you are applying to before preparing your photo.

How should a Cambodia visa photo look?

The required photo size for a Cambodia biometric e-passport (e-Passeport) and identity booklet (logvat) is 40×60 mm. The background must be plain white and the face clearly visible. Cambodia has been issuing biometric e-passports since 2014. Formal attire is recommended for the photo.

Issuing authority: General Department of Identification

Passport applications are handled by General Department of Identification (Ministry of Interior). Applications are accepted at authorised offices and service centres, and the photo requirements follow ICAO 9303.

Preparing your photo: correct size and format

PhotoID Studio automatically crops and resizes your photo to Cambodia passport standards (40×60 mm, 300 DPI, white background). Face detection ensures the correct head ratio and eye alignment according to ICAO rules. Print the resulting digital file at an authorised print centre and attach it to your Department of Immigration application.

How to take a good photo

Stand in front of a well-lit plain white background in formal attire and look directly at the camera. Your head should be upright, your face straight ahead, and your expression neutral. No sunglasses or accessories should be worn. Natural light or soft artificial lighting is preferred.

Common reasons for photo rejection

• Background is not white or contains shadows. • Photo was taken in informal or casual clothing. • Eyes are closed or partially closed. • Head is tilted or turned. • Photo is low-resolution or blurred.

Frequently asked questions

Can the same photo be used for both a Cambodian e-passport and the logvat (identity booklet)?

Both documents require a 40×60 mm biometric photo with a white background. The same digital file can be used for both applications depending on the number of prints needed.

What are the dress code requirements for a Cambodian passport photo?

Formal or business attire is preferred. Light or very bright clothing may blend with the white background, so medium or dark tones are generally recommended.

Can I wear glasses in my passport photo?

In line with ICAO standards, the Cambodian Department of Immigration generally does not accept photos with glasses. It is strongly recommended to remove them.
