Egypt visa photo requirements40 × 60 mm is common, but location controls

Background and crop only. PassPhoto never changes facial features or identity.

Egypt filing-location note

Do not treat 40 × 60 mm as a worldwide Egypt rule. Confirm the exact size, quantity, recency, and attachment method with the Egyptian office receiving your application. PassPhoto still allows background replacement for every route, with this note kept visible.

Egypt visa photo FAQ

What size is an Egypt visa photo?

There is no single worldwide size. Egyptian consular pages in Paris and Doha require 40 x 60 mm, Washington and Los Angeles require 2 x 2 inches, and London requires 35 x 45 mm. PassPhoto uses the common 40 x 60 mm consular preset and warns you to verify your receiving office.

Does the official Egypt eVisa require a personal photo upload?

The public requirements on the official Ministry of Interior eVisa FAQ list a travel document valid for six months, the eVisa printout, itinerary, supporting letter where relevant, and accommodation details. They do not list a separate personal photo upload. Follow any instructions shown inside your live application account if they differ.

How many printed photos do I need?

It depends on the office and visa route. Los Angeles, Paris, Doha, and London publish two-photo requirements. Washington currently asks for one photo on many tourist and business routes, while some special-document routes ask for two.

Must the background be white?

Yes for the official consular routes reviewed on this page. Washington, Los Angeles, Paris, Doha, and London all specify a white background. The eVisa public FAQ does not publish a separate photo-background rule because it does not list a personal photo upload.

Can PassPhoto replace the background?

Yes. Background replacement remains available for every reviewed country. PassPhoto changes only the background and crop, never skin, hair, facial geometry, expression, clothing, or identity. Because the receiving mission controls acceptance and Egypt uses different local specifications, verify its checklist before using an edited result.

What is the Egypt visa photo size in pixels?

The official consular pages reviewed here specify physical dimensions, not one national pixel value. Use digital dimensions, file-size limits, or head-height values only when the official filing route publishes them.

Does PassPhoto print or submit Egypt visa photos?

No. PassPhoto prepares a downloadable crop and white background. You arrange any required printing and submit through the Egyptian mission, consulate, or official eVisa route handling your application.

Official sources

Verify the receiving office before printing

Egypt's official missions publish different photo formats. Use the current page or checklist for the consulate, embassy, or online route handling your application.

Printing and submission are your responsibility

PassPhoto supplies a downloadable image. It does not print, submit, or guarantee acceptance. Use suitable photo paper when prints are requested and follow the exact instructions from the Egyptian office receiving your application.
