Check if your visa photo meets official biometric standards for Schengen, US, UK, China, India, or ASEAN eVisas, including exact millimeter and pixel dimensions, head height ratios, eyeglasses bans, and background color rules.
Each eVisa portal and consulate enforces distinct aspect ratios and head-crown percentages.
US, Schengen, China, and most eVisa AI scanners now reject photos with any eyeglasses.
Some portals reject light grey while UKVI prefers light grey/cream for contrast.
Wait—if your photo matches an existing visa or passport older than 6 months, officers will spot it.
Your photo parameters match Schengen Biometric (ICAO 9303) rules (35 × 45 mm, 413 × 531 px (300 DPI) / 827 × 1063 px (600 DPI)). Ensure ears and eyebrows are unobstructed, expression is neutral with mouth closed, and your digital file meets JPEG < 2 MB (VFS/TLS digital upload).
Apply online for your Cambodia Tourist eVisa ($84.99), Cambodia 7-day e-Arrival Card (from $20), or Azerbaijan ASAN eVisa (from $59.99) with 24/7 document review.
Online visa portals (US CEAC, China COVA, India eVisa, Cambodia e-Arrival, and Schengen VFS) run automated ICAO 9303 facial landmark geometry checks before a human officer ever sees your file.

No for almost all modern visas. The US Department of State, China COVA, India eVisa, and Schengen biometric portals prohibit eyeglasses entirely unless you attach a signed medical statement from an ophthalmic surgeon confirming glasses cannot be removed due to recent ocular surgery.
Automated portals inspect RGB pixel values in the corners and around your shoulders. If a home wall appears slightly warm/grey (#F2F2F2 instead of #FFFFFF) or has a faint shadow behind your neck, the algorithm flags it as non-uniform. Equally, using heavy AI background-removal apps that leave jagged pixel halos around hair will trigger a tampering rejection.
Yes. Religious head coverings worn daily are permitted across all major visa standards provided the full facial oval — from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead, along with both cheekbones — is completely visible and no shadows are cast across the face.
Immediately after passing the biometric photo check, eVisa and digital arrival card portals (such as India eVisa, Cambodia eVisa, Vietnam eVisa, and Thailand/Indonesia portals) ask for your entry flight number, departure flight details, and first-night accommodation address.
Instantly verify whether your passport satisfies the strict 3-month or 6-month remaining validity rule, the Schengen 10-year issue date cap, and minimum blank visa page requirements before airline check-in.
