Put your face in front of the camera lens. Hold the camera at eye level. Maintain a neutral facial expression. This will help create optimal conditions for obtaining a high-quality image.

Schengen visa photos must comply with ICAO Doc 9303 — the same biometric standard used by all 29 Schengen Area countries. The format is identical whether you apply at the German, French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Dutch, Austrian, Czech, Polish, Portuguese, Belgian, Swiss, Nordic or Baltic embassy. Photo-Visa.Online auto-validates every upload against the ICAO checklist before payment, so a photo accepted by one consulate is accepted by all.
Schengen consulates use the same biometric face-detection software, so the rules on pose are strict. Face the camera directly with a neutral expression — mouth closed, both eyes open, no smile. Head must not tilt left, right, forward or back. Hair must not cover the eyes or eyebrows. Religious headwear is allowed if the full face from forehead to chin remains visible.
Top reasons embassies reject Schengen visa photos: wrong size or aspect ratio (most common), patterned or colored background, shadows on the face or background, tinted lenses, glare or thick frames covering the eyes, retouched skin, head tilted, mouth slightly open. Photo-Visa.Online checks size, background and head proportion before you pay.
France — France-Visas: color photo 35×45 mm, plain light background (white is not accepted), taken within the last 6 months. Italy — the consulate asks for a recent ICAO-format photo. Spain — a recent color passport-size photo on a light background. The EU Visa Code itself refers to ICAO Doc 9303 and does not set a background colour or a photo age. Always check your consulate's current checklist.
Photo studios in the U.S. and UK charge $15–25 for a pair of 35×45 mm Schengen prints. CVS and Walgreens don't offer 35×45 mm directly — they print 2×2 in instead, which Schengen consulates reject. Photo-Visa.Online delivers a properly sized digital JPEG with a printable 4×6 in layout for $13. Every file is validated against the official Schengen size specification before you pay.

Upload PhotoSchengen visa photo size is 35×45 mm (3.5×4.5 cm). The head from chin to crown must measure 32–36 mm — about 70–80% of the frame. This is the ICAO Doc 9303 format; individual consulates may add their own rules (e.g. France does not accept a white background).
Yes. All Schengen consulates accept home-taken photos as long as they meet the ICAO 9303 standard. Use your phone's rear camera against a plain light wall, then upload to Photo-Visa.Online — our AI crops to 35×45 mm, replaces the background and validates compliance before charging you.
Tinted lenses, glare and thick frames covering the eyes are not accepted (France, Spain). Removing glasses for the photo is the safest choice.
Photo-Visa.Online charges $13 for a compliant digital JPEG (suitable for France-Visas, VFS, BLS Global uploads) with a print-ready 4×6 in layout containing 4 photos. Photo studios charge $15–25 for the same set. CVS, Walgreens and most U.S. drugstores do not stock the 35×45 mm format.
Yes. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal in USD, EUR, GBP and other currencies. Prices on the English site are quoted in USD — your bank handles the conversion at standard market rates.
France requires a photo taken within the last 6 months; other consulates ask for a recent photo. If your appearance has changed significantly (new beard, weight change, removed glasses), take a fresh photo even if you have an unused older one — biometric mismatches are a common rejection reason.
