If your Vatican passport photo or visa photo fails to meet any of the requirements listed below, then there is a high chance that your application will be rejected due to a photograph error. At Reload Internet we guarantee that this will not happen to your application, and that the photographs you submit will pass first time.

Vatican Passport Photo and Visa Photo specifications:

  • The photographs need to be 35mm x 45mm in size.

  • You are also able to wear a uniform for these images, something that is not often allowed.
  • If you have religious reasons for having headwear on, this is perfectly acceptable though it is not allowed without this exemption.
  • You must be directly facing the camera when your picture is being taken. This ensures that you can get a clear view of the entire face.
  • You cannot have your head turned or tilted when you get the image taken, as you would if you were getting a portrait done of yourself.
  • Your eyes need to be wide open, not squinting or with any raised eyebrows as well as having a neutral expression on your face. This means that you cannot be smiling or showing your teeth at all in your photograph.
  • You need to have a plain white background, without any sort of pattern or design to it.
  • You are not allowed to have anything else in the image along with you.
  • The camera needs to be at eye level of the person that it is taken a picture of.
  • Your eyes cannot be obscured by your eyeglasses, which can happen because of your frames or if a reflection happens when the flash goes off.
  • Having red eyes are also not allowed for your passport or visa images.
  • It is important that the face has an even amount of light on it as to prevent any shadows on your face, which could lead to the photo being rejected.
  • These images must be in color and have a sharp contrast that will display your natural skin tone.
  • If you submit these images digitally, you will have the same requirements as you would if you sent in the printed images. These images should also be 300 dpi in a JPG file.
  • The back of the photos need to be left blank when you submit them. If you choose to print them out, you need to be sure that you use high-quality photo paper and that it has a print resolution of 600 dpi (at least).
  • You cannot manipulate the images in any way otherwise they will not be accepted.

At Reload Internet we guarantee that your Vatican passport photo or visa photo will meet all of these specifications and hence will be accepted the first time you submit it with your application.

For more information regarding the process contact the Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See, which can be found here.
