Taiwan visa photo requirements35 x 45 mm white-background guide
Taiwan visa routes commonly ask for two recent colour photos, 45 mm high by 35 mm wide, with a white background. BOCA photo guidance does not support an edited online maker output, so this guide stays requirements-only.
Requirements-only. PassPhoto does not process, crop, resize, retouch, replace the background, submit, or guarantee Taiwan visa photos.

Two photos
Tourism, digital nomad, entrepreneur, and student routes all use two-photo wording.
Printed photo baseline
35 x 45 mm
BOCA writes the size as 45 mm in height and 35 mm in width.
Processing decision
Requirements-only
The reviewed BOCA photo standard says digital image alteration is not permitted.
No Taiwan upload preset is exposed

BOCA tells applicants to paste two 45 mm by 35 mm colour photos with a white background on the printed application form.

Taiwan visa photo FAQ
What size is a Taiwan visa photo?
BOCA visitor and resident visa pages commonly use two colour passport-size photos, 45 mm high by 35 mm wide, taken within six months with a white background. Always follow the receiving BOCA route or overseas mission if it gives extra instructions.
How many Taiwan visa photos do I need?
The reviewed BOCA tourism, digital nomad, entrepreneur, and student resident routes use two photos. Some filing routes may add document-specific packet instructions, so use the checklist for the application category you are filing.
What is the face size for a Taiwan visa photo?
BOCA photo standards specify 32 mm to 36 mm from chin to crown, which is about 70% to 80% of a 45 x 35 mm photo. The head should be centered, facing forward, and not tilted.
Can PassPhoto replace the background for a Taiwan visa photo?
No. BOCA photo guidance says alteration of the digital image is not permitted. PassPhoto keeps Taiwan requirements-only and does not crop, resize, retouch, replace the background, or process Taiwan visa photos.
Is there an official Taiwan visa pixel size?
The reviewed BOCA visa pages publish physical photo dimensions, not one route-neutral pixel export. Private tools may convert 35 x 45 mm to 600 DPI pixels or add file-size limits, but those are provider presets unless the official application route itself displays them.
Does this page guarantee BOCA will accept my photo?
No. PassPhoto summarizes reviewed requirements, but BOCA, the visa web application, the overseas mission, or the application counter decides whether a submitted photo and application packet are acceptable.

Verify the receiving route before submission
Follow the BOCA visa page, visa web application, overseas mission, or application counter handling your file. Do not use a private preset as authority for Taiwan visa-photo pixels, file size, photo count, or editing permission.
No editing or submission service is provided
PassPhoto does not process Taiwan visa photos, change backgrounds, alter identity, resolve visa web application issues, submit applications, or promise acceptance. BOCA, the overseas mission, or the application counter controls review.
