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

These are but a few of the guidelines which surround passport and visa photos. They’re designed to get you started, however, there are far more specifications to consider before and during photo taking. Here is a more in depth look at exactly what to expect when having your photo done by you or a professional:

  • Sizing is extremely important and cannot be stressed enough. If the photo is not the exact size, it will be rejected.
  • Unlike most other countries, you can opt to have your photo done in color or black and white. B&W should be as natural looking as possible and reflect your true features.
  • Smiling is acceptable as long as there are not teeth showing. Use a small crease of the lips or keep a neutral looking face.
  • No hats, large jewelry or hair pieces are allowed in the photo. However, if you wear a headpiece for religious or medical reasons, it cannot block the face.
  • Hair must be swept back behind the ears and not cast any shadows on your face.
  • Sunglasses, tinted lenses or glare are not permitted.
  • Prescription glasses can be worn if frames are thin and eyes are fully visible.
  • Red eye can be a problem if a flash is directed in line with the eyeball. Should this occur, retake the photo as digital alterations of ANY kind are prohibited.
  • Be conscious of lighting. A picture too dark or too light is usually the common cause of rejection. Be sure no flash creates a reflection on the background or person. Keep lighting even in order to show true skin tone color and features.
  • Though not specified, avoid wearing white or light colored clothing as it will not create a definitive contrast of person to background.
  • Eyes and shoulders should be completely squared with camera.
  • Photos should be printed on high quality paper.

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

Each child or infant regardless of age is required to have a passport or visa when leaving the country. This means a separate photo for each child as well. Group shots are never accepted. The above guidelines are always used with the requirements for children. We understand infants especially can be difficult to photograph, however, there are a few tips and tricks to getting the best shot possible. Here are a few extras to keep in mind:

  • A child or infant should be squared off with the camera. Eyes need to be opened and mouth closed.
  • If you are holding your child, hands or other objects cannot be visible.
  • Use a plain, white cloth to cover the background. This is especially useful for floors and car seats.
  • Pacifiers, bottles, blankets or toys are never acceptable in the picture.
  • Double check the lighting. Again, a picture too dark or too light is an automatic rejection.
