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 Tanzania visa photo look?

Most Tanzania photo rejections come from small things: a background that prints grey, a head framed too small, a soft file. The format itself is plain: 35×45 mm on white, following ICAO 9303.

Three documents, one standard

Passport, ID card and visa applications are handled separately, yet all three accept the same ICAO 9303 photo.

How PhotoID Studio heads off these faults

PhotoID Studio sets the head near 70% of the frame height, keeps 3 to 5 mm above the hair and turns the background pure white. The file exports at 35×45 mm, 300 dpi.

Shooting the source picture

Stand half a metre off the wall so no shadow lands behind you, with even light on the face from the front.

Faults reviewers catch most often

• Background prints grey despite looking white on screen. • Head well under or over 70% of the photo height. • Hair touching the top edge; 3 to 5 mm should stay clear. • Files below 300 dpi that blur in print.

One plan, every format

A single annual plan covers Tanzania along with every other country format, delivered print-ready and as a digital file.

Frequently asked questions
