About the Vietnam Visa Photo — 40 × 60 mm (4 × 6 cm)
Vietnamese visa photographs are quoted as 4 by 6 centimetres, which is how document sizes are usually spoken about in Vietnam, and translates to 40 by 60 millimetres. The face may run anywhere from 30 to 40 millimetres, which is unusually forgiving, over an unmarked white field.
The e-visa, now open to a long list of nationalities, is applied for online and takes two uploaded images: the photograph, and a scan of the passport's data page. Applicants regularly submit the first and forget the second, and the application is rejected without a refund of the fee.
The photograph itself must be face-on with no glasses at all. This is stricter than most: many countries permit spectacles without glare, and the Vietnamese e-visa guidance simply says none. Remove them.
The background must be white and clean. The portal's automated check is sensitive to shadow, and because the 4 × 6 frame is taller than a European photograph there is more background in shot for a shadow to fall on.
Photographs must be recent, in colour, with a neutral expression, both eyes open, and nothing on the head. A religious covering is accepted so long as nothing it does obscures a feature of the face.
The fee is not refunded when an application is refused, which makes the photograph worth getting right the first time rather than resubmitting.
Check the official e-visa portal for the current requirement and the nationality list, both of which have been extended repeatedly.
How to use it
- 1Take your glasses off — the Vietnamese e-visa guidance permits none at all — and photograph yourself face-on.
- 2Keep Vietnam selected for the 40 × 60 millimetre frame, which is the 4 × 6 cm size quoted on the portal.
- 3Set the background to white; the taller frame leaves more room for a shadow, so replacing it is worthwhile.
- 4Check the guide copy — the 30–40 mm head range is wide, so there is room to get this comfortably right.
- 5Upload the photograph and, separately, a clear scan of your passport data page. Both are required.
Questions
- Is 4 × 6 cm the same as 40 × 60 mm?
- Yes — the same measurement written two ways. Vietnamese forms quote centimetres, which is why the number looks unfamiliar next to the millimetre sizes used elsewhere.
- Can I wear glasses?
- No. The e-visa guidance excludes them outright rather than permitting them without glare, which is the more common rule. Take them off before you take the photograph.
- What else does the e-visa application need?
- A scan of your passport's data page, uploaded alongside the photograph. Forgetting it is the most frequent cause of rejection, and the fee is not returned when an application fails.
- Will a 35 × 45 photograph do?
- No. Forty by sixty is a different proportion — noticeably taller relative to its width — so a European photograph cannot be resized into it without cropping the head or distorting it.
