Thailand visa photo requirements3:4 eVisa, 35 × 45 mm, or 40 × 60 mm
Thailand uses different photo formats for eVisa, local consular, and Visa on Arrival applications. Match the format to your exact route before taking, printing, or uploading the photo.
The maker supports background replacement with an official-rule note. PassPhoto does not submit Thailand visa photos.
Standard eVisa example
3:4 portrait
White background, taken within six months.
Local checklist example
35 × 45 mm
Published for the Hong Kong tourist route.
Visa on Arrival
40 × 60 mm
One recent print for eligible travellers.
Thailand alteration note
A published Royal Thai Embassy visa checklist requires unretouched photographs. Because that restriction is not consistent across every route, PassPhoto allows background replacement but displays this note before processing. The edited result may be rejected where an unretouched original is required.

Which Thailand visa photo size should you use?
Start with the application channel, not a generic country preset. These official examples show why 35 × 45 mm and 4 × 6 cm are both real but not interchangeable.
Local consular checklist
35 × 45 mm example
The Hong Kong tourist-visa checklist asks for a 3.5 × 4.5 cm white-background photo taken within six months. Your responsible mission may publish another format.
Official Hong Kong checklistVisa on Arrival
40 × 60 mm print
Thailand Immigration Bureau specifies one 4 × 6 cm photo taken no longer than six months for the eligible Visa on Arrival route.
Official Immigration handbookOfficial composition guidance
Face, background, lighting, and expression
Royal Thai Embassy Singapore gives detailed eVisa composition guidance. The face and shoulders should be centred, the head should occupy about 70% of the image height, and the background must be plain white or off-white without objects.
Recency
Within 6 months
The image must still reflect your current appearance.
Background
Plain white
Some official eVisa guidance also accepts off-white; use the local instruction.
Head size
About 70%
Singapore guidance measures from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin.
Expression
Neutral
Face the camera directly with eyes open and mouth closed.
Lighting
Even and clear
Avoid blur, harsh shadows, glare, furniture, and background objects.
Image treatment
Use an original
An official visa checklist requires unretouched photographs.
Digital eVisa file
JPG or JPEG, but no universal pixel size
The official eVisa manual includes a photograph-upload step. Doha's current guidance adds a high-resolution white-background image, JPG or JPEG format, at least 300 PPI, and a file size not exceeding 3 MB. It does not publish one mandatory width-by-height pixel pair for every applicant worldwide.
JPG or JPEG
Use the format shown by the live eVisa upload field.
Maximum 3 MB example
Published by Doha and several other Thai missions.

Thailand visa photo FAQ
Direct answers before you apply
What size is a Thailand visa photo?
There is no single size for every Thai visa route and filing location. Current official examples include a 3:4 portrait ratio for eVisa guidance, 35 x 45 mm on a Hong Kong tourist-visa checklist, and 40 x 60 mm for Visa on Arrival. Check the instruction shown by your responsible embassy, consulate, eVisa account, or immigration route before preparing the image.
What are the Thailand eVisa photo requirements?
Official Thai mission guidance commonly requires a recent colour image taken within six months, a vertical composition, a plain white background, a centred forward-facing head and shoulders, open eyes, and a neutral expression. Vienna publishes a 3:4 ratio, while Doha specifies JPG or JPEG, at least 300 PPI, and a maximum 3 MB for its route.
Is a Thailand visa photo 35 x 45 mm or 4 x 6 cm?
Both sizes appear in official sources, but for different routes. A Royal Thai Consulate-General Hong Kong tourist-visa checklist uses 35 x 45 mm. Thailand Immigration Bureau uses 40 x 60 mm for Visa on Arrival. Do not choose by nationality alone; use your exact application route and filing-location checklist.
Can PassPhoto replace the background of a Thailand visa photo?
PassPhoto can replace the background, but an official Thai visa checklist requires unretouched photographs. Because alteration rules vary by route, the maker displays this note before processing; check the exact Thai route before using the edited file.
What is the Thailand visa photo file-size limit?
Doha and several other Thai mission pages publish a maximum of 3 MB for JPG or JPEG eVisa photos, but the live portal and responsible mission control your application. A 200 KB value promoted by some private photo services is not a universal Thai government limit.
What is the Thailand visa photo size in pixels?
Official Thai sources reviewed here describe ratios, physical sizes, resolution, and file limits rather than one national pixel dimension. Use a pixel dimension only when the official route publishes it.
Can I wear glasses in a Thailand visa photo?
Rules differ by source. Singapore eVisa guidance allows spectacles when the eyes remain visible and there is no flash reflection. Some local non-immigrant checklists say without eyeglasses. Removing them is the lower-risk choice unless needed for medical reasons, but your route-specific checklist controls.
Does PassPhoto print or submit Thailand visa photos?
No. PassPhoto explains the requirements and source differences. You arrange any required print and submit or upload the image yourself through the official Thai visa, immigration, embassy, consulate, or authorised service route.
