Taiwan Passport Photo and Visa Photo Requirements, Rules, Guidelines, and specifications

As you can see, there are far more details encompassing a passport or visa photo. Though tedious, these regulations create a uniformed identification process which allows the government to easily identify each citizen. Along with the above items, the following is a much more detailed list of requirements:

  • Sizing is mandatory. There is no leniency to the exact measurements. Your head should be between 32mm and 36mm. No more, no less. It will be around 70% of the entire photo as a whole.
  • Picture needs to reflect your current look. Therefore, photos submitted which are older than 6 months will be rejected.
  • The photo should be printed on high quality, glossy paper and of high resolution. Usually more than 500Kb.
  • Glasses are allowed during the photo, however, if they are thick framed, tinted lenses or attract glare, it should be removed. Your eyes need to be fully visible.
  • Headwear for religious or medical purposes are permitted so long as the face is in full view. Hats, large jewelry ro any other head wear is not allowed.
  • Shadows, flash reflection, overexposure or underexposure is not permitted. Be sure there are no dark spots on your face from badly angled lighting equipment or your hair.
  • No specifications on beards are given but it’s a good rule of thumb that if you normally wear a beard, it’s acceptable.
  • Keep your face relaxed and neutral. Smiling is not permitted as it distorts facial features.
  • Avoid wearing white colored shirts. Your shoulders and face must be in stark contrast to the background.
  • Red eye is not allowed. Neither are touch ups afterward. If red eye occurs, the photo needs to be retaken.
  • Be sure your eyes are looking directly at the camera and body is squared. The photo should show the top of your shoulders.

Rules and requirements for babies, infants, and newborns Passport and Visa photos

If you are bringing children on this trip or future trips outside of Taiwan, you must apply for a passport of visa for each child. This means a photo of each child as well. Group or family photos are never permitted. Though photographing young kiddos can be tricky, the above technicalities are still applicable. Here are a few guidelines and advice for the perfect photo:

  • Lighting should reflect the true colors and skin one of the child.
  • No object such as pacifiers, bottles, toys or parent hands are allowed.
  • If your infant is less than 12 months old, you can photograph them laying down or sitting in a chair. If you should do this, place a white cloth behind them to cover any object or background not white in color.
  • Eyes need to be open and mouths closed. The infant or child should be facing directly toward the camera.
  • The top of the child’s shoulders should be in view. The rule of 70% still applies.

We understand it may be difficult to achieve these guidelines but no fear, patience pays off or so they say. For more information click here.
