The consulate or embassy asks for recent passport-style photos that meet its own specifications. Our online check validates your visa photo against each size and photo quality parameter below.
A Mexico visa is an official document that lets a foreign national enter, stay and travel in the country for a set period. There are types for tourism, business, work, study and family reunification. Citizens of some countries do not need a visa for a short stay, so check the official visa information first. If you do apply, every Mexican visa application includes recent passport-sized photos that meet the specifications set by the consulate or embassy.
Our Mexico visa photo template is 35×45 mm, about 1.38×1.77 inches. The head size is about 34.5 mm from the chin to the top of the head, with a gap of about 4.5 mm between the top of the hair and the upper edge. The background is plain white. A print at 600 DPI keeps the visa photo sharp at this small size. Each consulate sets its own photo rules, so before you print, compare the size with the page of the consulate where you apply.
You submit the application in person at the consulate or embassy, and some consulates let you book that appointment online. The photo we make is also suitable for online submission as a digital file. The same 35×45 mm photo works for both: download the file online, keep it for any upload, and print copies if your consulate asks for printed photos.
Processing can take from a few days to several weeks, so prepare your visa photo early.
A wrong size is one of the easiest visa photo problems to avoid. The paper size is only half of it: a photo with the head too small or too large is still the wrong photo, so the head size matters as much as the photo size. Our tool sets the photo size to 35×45 mm and scales the head to about 34.5 mm. When you print at home, turn off "fit to page" so the printer keeps the true size, then measure the print with a ruler. If a print comes out in the wrong size, print the visa photo file again instead of trimming it with scissors, because trimming changes the head size too.
For an online form, keep the original visa photo file rather than a scan of a print. A scan loses sharpness and can change the size and colours. Our online tool gives you a clean digital visa photo file, so you can upload it and print it from the same file.
Hold the phone at arm's length, camera at eye level. Our online tool crops the photo to the right size and straightens it.
Look into the lens with a neutral face and your mouth closed. Take off your glasses before you take the photo.
Face a window for even daylight and avoid direct sunlight, which leaves hard shadows in the photo. The AI replaces the background for your visa photo.
