Hungary visa photo requirements35 × 45 mm Schengen photo guide
Hungarian short-stay visa checklists commonly ask for one recent 35 × 45 mm colour photo. Long-stay and local filing routes can change the quantity, background wording, and intake method.
Background and crop only. PassPhoto never changes facial features or identity.
Common short-stay route
One 35 × 45 mm photo
Pretoria, Nairobi, Taskent, and Seoul pages all support the one-photo pattern.
Local exceptions
Two photos can apply
Istanbul business guidance and some long-stay routes use different enclosure lists.
Digital sizing
No official universal pixels
Do not rely on a private 413 × 531 or 826 × 1062 px conversion unless your route asks for it.
Choose the filing location first
Hungary visa-photo instructions are published by the receiving mission. Use the 35 × 45 mm output for the common Schengen checklist, but follow stricter local wording when a mission asks for white background, two photos, or a different long-stay enclosure.

Hungary visa photo size and route differences
Current mission pages agree on a recent colour photo and direct full-face view, but they differ on quantity and background details. PassPhoto keeps the output tied to the route instead of claiming one universal Hungary visa specification.
Quantity
One or two by route
Short-stay pages often ask for one photo; local business or long-stay routes can ask for two.
Recency
Within 6 months
Use a current colour photo that matches your appearance when you file.
Background
White or light
Some missions require white; others publish a broader bright or light-background rule.
Face view
Full face, front view
Look directly at the camera with the entire face and top of shoulders visible.
Digital output
No universal pixel size
The reviewed official pages do not publish one Hungary visa JPEG, DPI, or kilobyte target.

ID-size wording may replace 35 × 45
Nairobi long-stay guidance describes a passport-size colour photo, 35-40 mm wide, against one bright background, and says a new photo may be required if it fails.
Long-stay guidanceBackground replacement is available for reviewed routes
The reviewed official Hungary visa sources do not explicitly prohibit background replacement. PassPhoto creates a white or light background and the selected crop without changing skin, hair, facial geometry, expression, clothing, or identity.

What size is a Hungary visa photo?
For the short-stay Schengen routes reviewed here, Hungarian mission checklists commonly require a 35 x 45 mm colour photo. Some residence-permit pages instead describe an ID-size photo around 35-40 mm wide, so use the checklist for the office receiving your application.
How many Hungary visa photos do I need?
The reviewed Pretoria, Nairobi short-stay, Taskent tourism, and Seoul common guidance generally ask for one photo. Istanbul business guidance asks for two biometric photographs, and long-stay or residence-permit routes can use their own enclosure lists.
What background colour should I use?
Use the stricter checklist if your route publishes one. Taskent and Istanbul guidance ask for a white background, while Nairobi and Seoul guidance allow a light or bright one-colour background.
Is there a Hungary visa photo size in pixels?
The current official pages reviewed here publish physical photo requirements, not one universal pixel dimension, DPI value, JPEG type, or file-size ceiling. Use digital values only if the signed-in route or local checklist publishes them.
Can PassPhoto replace the background?
Yes for the bounded route reviewed here. The official Hungarian visa sources reviewed on this page do not explicitly prohibit background replacement. PassPhoto changes only the background and crop, never facial features, clothing, expression, skin, hair, or identity.
Can I wear glasses or a religious head covering?
Seoul and Nairobi residence guidance permit glasses when the eyes remain visible and there is no lens reflection. Head coverings are allowed for religious reasons only when the face remains visible and the covering does not cast a shadow.
Does PassPhoto submit or guarantee Hungary visa photos?
No. PassPhoto provides a downloadable file for the route you select. You arrange printing, appointment handling, upload, and any replacement photo requested by the consulate or visa centre.
Official and comparison sources
Verify the receiving route before submission
Public provider pages often publish pixel conversions, DPI values, automated edits, or acceptance guarantees that the reviewed Hungarian mission pages do not establish. Official filing-location instructions control.
Printing and submission are your responsibility
PassPhoto supplies a downloadable image. It does not print, submit, or guarantee acceptance. Bring the correct number of photos or upload the file through your own official application route.
