    Rules that get a photo returned

    • UAE visa photos are usually 43 × 55 mm.
    • Head 32–36 mm, face straight to the camera.
    • Plain white background, no shadows.
    • No filters, no retouching, no AI beautification. A photo that does not look like you is rejected however well it is cropped.

    Printing it

    If the application is on paper, use the 6×4 print sheet button in the tool. It places as many copies of the crop as fit on a 6 × 4 inch page at 300 DPI, with cut marks. Print at 100%: "fit to page" changes the size and invalidates the photo.

    Questions

    What size is a United Arab Emirates Visa photo?

    43 mm wide by 55 mm high: 508 × 650 px at 300 DPI. The head, measured chin to crown, should be 32–36 mm.

    What background do I need?

    Plain white. Plain means no pattern, no door frame, and nothing dark behind the head. Stand about a metre from the wall and face a window.

    Can I take it with my phone?

    Yes. Use the rear camera if you can, at arm’s length or with help, and fill the frame with your head and shoulders. The tool applies the orientation tag and crops to the frame.
