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 Slovakia visa photo look?

Passport, ID card, visa and residence permit: Slovakia takes one 35×45 mm white-background photo for all four. The format follows ICAO 9303 and Schengen practice.

Who checks the photo

Issuing offices check each print against ICAO 9303. What passes for one document passes for the other three.

After the shoot

Open the frame in PhotoID Studio with the Slovakia preset. It aligns the face, whitens the background and exports 35×45 mm at 300 DPI.

Studio setup

Light the white backdrop evenly from both sides, lens at eye level. Ask for a neutral expression, mouth closed.

Common refusal reasons

• Background not pure white, or shadowed. • Head height off the 70% ratio. • No 3-5 mm gap above the hair. • Smile, tilted head or half-closed eyes.

For studios in Slovakia

One session covers all four document types, so one price line is enough. The same prints serve passport, ID and permit work alike.

Frequently asked questions

Does one photo cover all four documents?

Yes. Passport, ID card, visa and residence permit share the white 35×45 mm format.

How large should the head be?

About 70% of the image height, with 3-5 mm clear above the hair, at 300 DPI.
