Thailand passport photo and visa photo requirements, rules, guidelines, and specifications

We trust our quick facts have given you a solid starting point. Remember, capturing the perfect photo, whether professionally or on your own, involves more detailed requirements. To streamline your passport and visa photo process and cut out the guesswork, check out this list of detailed guidelines you'll want to familiarize yourself with:

  • When considering the sizing of your photo, it must be precise. Depending on which document you need, the exact measurements are non-negotiable.
  • The most common detail causing rejections of photos by the government is lighting. A picture overexposed or underexposed is never acceptable. Shadows cannot be formed on the face or background. Keep lighting even.
  • Smiling is not permitted when taking a photo for your passport or visa. Maintain a neutral expression and mouth closed.
  • Glasses are acceptable so long as the frames are not thick, lenses have no glare, and there is no tint to the glass.
  • Eyes should be facing directly toward the camera and wide open. Be aware of red eye. If this occurs, a new photo has to be taken, as any digital alterations are never permitted.
  • Hats or other headwear are not allowed. The only exception is headpieces for medical or religious reasons. Either way, your face and ears must be completely visible.
  • Avoid wearing uniforms and any clothing of light colors.
  • Beards are not specified, but a rule of thumb is if you wear one on a regular basis, it’s acceptable.
  • Your head position needs to be squared off with the camera and the tops of the shoulders in view.
  • Avoid glare in the background caused by a flash.

Rules and requirements for babies, infants, and newborns

Kids flying out of Thailand with their parents or friends must have their own passport or visa, regardless of age. Yep, even babies aren't excused from this rule Each child or infant needs a recent photo snapped within the last 6 months. We get it; capturing the right photo of a child can be tricky, but it's a must-do. Plus, there are a few more specifics you'll need to keep an eye on:

  • Toys, bottles, and pacifiers cannot be photographed with your child.
  • Parents, you are not permitted to be in the photo with your infant. Should you decide to hold the baby, hands, and arms cannot be seen.
  • You can place the infant on the floor or sit them in a car seat. Whichever method you choose, place a white cloth behind the baby to ensure the background compliant.
  • Regardless of how many pictures you take, the final photo must show the infants’ eyes open, mouth closed, and facing the camera. His or her head should take up 70-80% of the picture, the same as an adult.
