With the PhotoID Studio desktop app you can create a custom photo size for any document used in any country, save it as a preset, and reuse your saved preset with a single click.

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 Myanmar visa photo look?

Myanmar Biometric ePassport and Smart National Identity Card (SNIC) photos must be 35×45 mm on a plain white background. Both documents follow ICAO standards. Applications are processed by the Ministry of Immigration and Population (MIP).

Issuing authority: Ministry of Immigration and Population (MIP)

Passport and identity document applications are handled by Ministry of Immigration and Population (MIP). Applications are accepted at authorised offices and service centres, and the photo requirements follow ICAO 9303.

Preparing a compliant photo with PhotoID Studio

PhotoID Studio crops and resizes your uploaded photo to the 35×45 mm Myanmar standard. The app automatically checks face position, head height and background colour. Save the processed photo to your device and have it printed at a local print shop.

Tips for taking the right photo

Position yourself in front of a plain white wall under natural or evenly distributed artificial light. Look directly at the camera with your face fully visible from the front. Glasses are not recommended. Make sure your hair does not cover your facial features.

Common reasons for photo rejection

• Background is not plain white or light grey. • Head height falls outside 70–80% of the total photo height. • Eyes are closed or partially visible. • Shadows, reflections or colour distortion on the face. • Photo is older than 6 months.

Cost and printing options

With a PhotoID Studio annual subscription you can process your photos. Print the processed photo at a local print shop at 35×45 mm. This offers significant savings compared to traditional studio prices.
