If you want your application to be accepted the first time round, then you need to meet the strict requirements set by the Hong Kong Embassy. Plenty of people find that photos they have taken themselves, or even ones taken in a photo booth, are rejected due to a large variance of errors, including lighting, background, head size, biometric data, etc. – when you come to Reload Internet, we guarantee that the Hong Kong passport photo or visa photo that you receive from us will pass at the Embassy.

Getting your Hong Kong visa or passport photos taken professionally ensures there are no delays to your application in regards to photo error, and that when you are using your Hong Kong passport/visa, travelling goes smoothly.

You will need recent photos for your Hong Kong visa or passport application – any photos that are over six months old will be rejected. There are also numerous other guidelines to follow, which we have listed below.

Hong Kong Passport Photo Requirements

  • Hong Kong passport photos need to measure 40mm (width) X 50mm (height)
  • The photograph should have a plain white background.
  • The size from chin to crown for the person in the photograph should be 32mm to 36mm. There should be sufficient headroom.
  • The photograph should show your full frontal face with clear facial features.

  • Photos must be as recent as possible- if they were not taken in the last six months, they will likely be rejected
  • Photos that you have taken yourself, or which were taken in a photo booth, will often be rejected for not meeting one or more of the requirements.
  • Photos have to be taken against a white background, and no shadows may be visible in the picture (both on the applicant and the backdrop)
  • When the photo is printed, your head should measure between 32mm and 36mm
  • You must look straight at the camera in the photo, and maintain a neutral expression. You also need to keep your head and eye line level with the lens.
  • Religious and medical headwear is permitted so long as it does not obstruct any part of your face.
  • If you wear glasses we recommend you remove them. If you must wear glasses please ensure that your eyes are not covered by the lenses or frames, and that there are no reflections on the lenses.
  • Men should note that long hair and earrings are prohibited in your Hong Kong passport photo or visa photo.
  • Photos must not be altered after they are taken – they must already have an acceptable level of brightness and contrast

The photos themselves need to be printed on high-quality white paper, which we will do for you here at Reload Internet in Paddington, London.

If you want to get your application accepted the first time, then come to Reload Internet and let us take care of your Hong Kong passport photo or visa photo for you.

We receive all of our specifications from the Embassy of Hong Kong’s guidelines on passport and visa photographs, which can be found here
