International Visa Photos
Applying for an international visa?
At Gold Coast Passport Photography, we provide professionally captured visa application photos prepared to the official specifications of the issuing country or embassy.
Visa photo requirements can vary significantly between countries and are often different from both passport photos and Australian identification photos.
Each country publishes its own visa application photo specifications, which may include precise requirements for image size, head measurement, background colour, digital format and facial expression.
Visa photo requirements may include:
• Specific photo dimensions (not always 35 × 45mm)
• Exact head height measurements
• Background colour requirements such as white, light grey or off-white
• Strict facial expression and positioning rules
• Requirements relating to glasses, hair and head coverings
• Digital image format and pixel dimensions
• Print finish requirements depending on the application process
At Gold Coast Passport Photography, we work from official government or embassy documentation to ensure your visa application photo meets the correct technical requirements for submission.
If you are unsure what photo specification is required, simply tell us which country you are applying to, and we will confirm the correct requirements before capturing your photograph.

HOW IT WORKS
We Confirm Your Specs
You let us know which country or application specs your photo is for, and we set the lighting and background to the correct standard before we begin. This also allows for you to check your self in the mirror and prepare.
We Capture Your Best shot
With controlled lighting, careful positioning, and guidance on posture and expression, we capture multiple images so you look clear, natural, and confident. You’ll review your photo at 400% on-screen and we’ll adjust and re-capture until you’re happy.
We Check Compliance
We measure and check your image against the relevant guidelines, then provide your photos as prints, digital files, or both, ready to use for your passport, visa or ID. Every step is deliberate and quality focused for the best results.
for a Passport Photo You’ll Be Happy With!
We use professional studio lighting, calibrated equipment, precise lens alignment, and accurate biometric framing to create passport, visa, and ID photos that meet official ICAO & issuing authority specifications, without distortion and shadows,
We carefully guide posture, expression, and alignment so your photo reflects how you naturally look, not an awkward or rushed snapshot, and we repeat the process and refine the image to ensure you look like the best version of you.
The result is a compliant passport photo that is clear, balanced, professionally presented, and one you’re happy to see on your identification for the next ten years.
Compliance doesn’t mean compromising on quality.
