The Netherlands Passport Photo and Visa Photo Requirements, Rules, Guidelines, and specifications

Our team at iVisa Photos makes sure that your photo will always be 100% compliant and approved by all embassies. The Schengen tourist visa photo has a lot of rules and requirements.

A few notes on your photograph:

  • Always look straight , do not tilt your head
  • Size: 35mm x 45mm
  • Photo must have been taken within the past 6 months.

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

The Schengen visa to the Netherlands that you will apply for at Dutch embassies has the exact same requirements for both adults and children. This goes for the visa application as well as the required photo. If you need to take pictures of a baby then check these tips.

  • One: The baby's eyes have to be open. A lot of moms recommend to take the pictures after the baby had a nap or rest. That way you will ensure that the baby will be happier and wide awake for the photo session.
  • Two: The background must be white so use a white blanket or bed sheet. And if you do not have any of these 2 things, then you can also use a white paper to lay your baby on. top

  • Three: If your baby is too young then you can take your baby and lay the baby on a table with a white background in its car seat and take the passport photo there. As soon as the baby is ready and in position, take the photo. It is crucial though that you take safety precautions when doing this. We recommend that one person holds the baby while the other person should make sure that your baby is secure and safe in its seat.
  • Finally, take multiple photos so that you will have a lot to choose from.
