Always verify the size before an official application

The information here reflects the sizes commonly accepted for visa applications.

Check the current guidance of the authority you are applying to before preparing your photo.

How should a Yemen visa photo look?

Yemen biometric passport (jawaz safar) and national identity card (bitaqat hawiyya) require a 40×60 mm photo with a plain white background. Women who normally wear a headscarf may submit a photo with it on. The photo must be taken within the last 6 months.

Issuing authorities

Passport and identity document applications are processed by the Immigration, Passports and Naturalization Authority under the Ministry of Interior (Wizarat al-Dakhiliyya).

Preparing your photo with PhotoID Studio

PhotoID Studio crops your image to 40×60 mm, replaces the background with white, and resizes it to meet Ministry of Interior requirements. Save the processed photo for digital submission or printing.

Photo capture tips

Stand against a plain white background in even lighting. The camera should be at eye level with the face fully visible from the front. If wearing a headscarf, the forehead, both cheeks, and chin must be clearly visible.

Common rejection reasons

• Background is not plain white or has shadows. • Eyes are closed or glasses are worn. • Face is not looking directly at the camera or expression is not neutral. • Photo is older than 6 months.
