Can I reuse a Schengen visa photograph?

The size and head range are close enough that the shape is usually fine. Change the background to white — Schengen specifies light grey, and the Thai requirement asks for white.

Why do e-visa applications get refused on the photograph?

Usually file size or dimensions rather than the picture itself. The portal sets limits on every upload, and the photograph is the file people compress least because it is already small. Check the stated limits before submitting.

How many copies do I need for a visa extension?

Immigration offices typically ask for one or two per application, and long-stay holders repeat the process yearly. A printed sheet covers several years at the price of one studio visit.

Are glasses acceptable?

Yes, provided both eyes are fully visible and there is no reflection on the lenses. Tinted lenses and sunglasses are not accepted in any case.

Country and document

Sets the millimetre size, the head-height range and the background colour.

Background

Anything but 'keep' cuts you out with a model that runs on this device and puts you on a plain colour. 'Keep' skips the model entirely, so it is instant.

Cutout tightness0%

Only used when the background is being replaced. Raise it to trim a halo, lower it to rescue hair that was cut into.

Print sheet

A sheet tiles as many copies as the paper takes, with a cut line around each. Any print shop can run it.

Also save a framing guide

A second file with the crown and chin bands drawn on, so you can check the head is the right size. Never submit that one.

About the Thailand Visa Photo — 35 × 45 mm

The Thai frame is the familiar 35-by-45 one, with slightly more latitude on the face: anything from 30 to 36 millimetres of head qualifies. A Schengen photograph is therefore usually the right shape, though it wants a white field behind you rather than a grey one.

The e-visa has replaced the sticker for most applicants, and the application is made through the official portal with the photograph uploaded. What makes the Thai process distinctive is how much supporting material accompanies it: proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel, each as a separate upload with its own size limits. The photograph is the smallest file in the set and the one most likely to be rejected for a technical reason rather than its contents.

The portal wants a recent colour photograph, face-on, neutral expression, both eyes open, no hat and nothing obscuring the face. Glasses are permitted where the eyes are fully visible without glare.

For long-stay categories — retirement, education, the various non-immigrant visas — the same photograph specification applies, and several printed copies are usually wanted at the immigration office for extensions. Anyone living in Thailand on a renewable visa ends up needing this photograph roughly once a year.

There is no refund when an e-visa application is refused, so it is worth confirming the photograph before submitting rather than after.

Requirements are published on the official Thai e-visa portal and by each embassy, which sometimes add their own supporting-document list.

How to use it

1Add a recent colour photograph taken face-on, with a neutral expression and both eyes clearly visible.
2Keep Thailand selected for the 35 × 45 frame and the 30–36 mm head range.
3Choose white for the background — the Thai specification asks for white rather than the European grey.
4Check the guide copy, then take the plain file for upload.
5Print a sheet as well if you are on a long-stay visa: annual extensions at immigration want physical copies.
