UK visa photo: passport spec plus a biometric appointment

The UKVI visa photo uses the same 35 x 45 mm format as the UK passport, with the head 29–34 mm from chin to crown. The big workflow difference: you upload a digital photo with your application but a new photo is taken at your biometric appointment at the visa application centre — the photo you submit is only used during initial processing.

File spec

  • Format: JPEG or PNG
  • Pixels: at least 600 x 750
  • File size: 50 KB – 10 MB
  • Background: plain light grey or cream (avoid pure white)

What's different from the UK passport

  • Recency: within 6 months (UK passport adults: same; UK baby passport: 1 month)
  • Two prints for paper applications, but most visa applications now use digital upload only
  • Resubmitting is harder than for passports because of consulate timelines — get it right first time

For UK passport adult specs see UK Passport Photo.
