Most common rejection reasons

  1. 1
    A tilted or turned head
    Chinese consulate guidance lists a tilted or turned head among the photos it does not accept; face the camera squarely.
  2. 2
    Hair over the eyebrows or eyes
    Hair that covers the eyebrows or eyes is not accepted; sweep it back so the whole face is clear.

Snap2Pass never edits your face. It replaces the background and crops the photo to size, nothing else.

    Passport applications go to the National Immigration Administration. Visa applications go to a Chinese embassy or consulate abroad, which has its own photo specification and upload rules.
