Photo rules for Japan visa (35 × 45 mm)

Japanese embassies ask for a 45 × 35 mm photo (passport size) from the upper chest to the top of the head, with some space above the head, on a plain background that isn’t too dark. The head measures about 34 mm (± 2 mm) from chin to crown. Some consulates set their own size (the embassy in India asks for 45 × 45 mm), so check your embassy’s page.

How it works

  1. Take a photo facing the camera against a plain wall, in even light, from about 1–1.5 m away.
  2. Drop it in the box above. The tool finds your face, sizes it to the official rules and cleans the background.
  3. Press Create photos and download the digital photo and the print sheets.
