Albania visa photo FAQ
What size is an Albania visa photo?
The official Albania e-Visa apply page says the photo must meet 47 mm x 36 mm or 555 pixels high x 425 pixels wide at 300 DPI. Its sample irregularity notice can also ask for a 5 cm x 4 cm passport standard photo with a white background.
Does every Albania visa route use 425 x 555 pixels?
No. The 425 x 555 pixel output is the official e-Visa page guideline reviewed here. Stamped visa, diplomatic mission, long-stay, and document-reupload routes can use route-specific instructions, including the portal sample wording that refers to 5 cm x 4 cm.
Can PassPhoto replace the background for Albania visa photos?
No. The reviewed official pages publish dimensions and white-background wording, but they do not resolve whether background replacement or other edits are permitted. PassPhoto keeps Albania in requirements-only mode and does not process Albania visa photos.
What background colour should I use?
Use a white background. The e-Visa sample reupload notice asks applicants to upload a passport standard photo with a white background, and private services also commonly repeat white-background wording.
Are private 36 x 47 mm or 4 x 5 cm tools official?
No. Private provider pages conflict on Albania photo dimensions, file-size limits, and whether automated fixes are available. The official e-Visa page and Albanian Ministry warning make the official portal the source to follow.
Does an Albania e-Visa guarantee entry?
No. The official e-Visa page says obtaining a visa is not a guarantee that the foreigner is allowed to enter Albania. Border and consular authorities control the final decision.

Verify the receiving route before submission
Follow the current official portal, consular notice, or e-Albania long-stay route shown for your application. Do not use a private preset as authority for Albania visa-photo dimensions, file size, or editing permissions.
No editing or submission service is provided
PassPhoto does not process Albania visa photos, change backgrounds, alter identity, submit applications, or promise acceptance. The official portal, consular post, or border authority controls review and any replacement request.
