Non-Immigrant Visas

Photograph Requirements for Applying for a U.S. Visa

Photo Appearance

The photograph of each visa applicant must be an unmounted full face photo, taken within the past six months.
A "full face" photo is one in which the applicant is facing the camera directly. The applicant should not be looking down or to either side.
The head of the applicant, including both face and hair, should be shown from the crown of the head to the tip of the chin on top and bottom, and from hair line side-to-side.
It is preferable that the ears be exposed.
Photographs of applicants wearing sunglasses or other eyewear that detracts from the face will not be accepted unless required for medical reasons (e.g., eye patch).
Photographs of applicants wearing head coverings (hats, scarves, or veils) will not be accepted if they obscure any part of the face, even if they are worn for religious reasons.
The key requirement is that the photograph clearly identify the applicant.

Photo Size

The photograph should measure 5 cm squarewith the head centered in the frame.
The faceshouldmeasure 3 cmfrom the top of the head to the chin.
Photos may be either in color or black and white and must be taken against a white or off-white background.
Photos should be printed without borders.
Photos taken in front of busy, patterned, or dark backgrounds will not be accepted.
