Official Mexico Visa Photo Dimensions & Requirements (31x39mm)

Mexico's foreign ministry (SRE) asks for a passport-size colour photo with a visa application and gives a size range. It is smaller than the photo most countries use.

  • Size: At least 26mm wide by 32mm high and at most 31mm wide by 39mm high. We make it 31mm by 39mm.
  • Background: White.
  • Face visible, facing forward.
  • No glasses.
  • Colour photo, passport style.
  • Head: We keep it at 50–70% of the photo height. The ministry does not publish a head size.

How to Fix Background for Mexico Visa Photo

Most US and EU citizens do not require a visa to visit Mexico for tourism. However, citizens of many other countries must apply through a consulate and submit a biometric photo:

  • Tourist Visa (FMM): Required for certain nationalities.
  • Temporary Resident Visa: Required for those staying 6–12 months.
  • Work Visa: All nationalities require this for employment.
  • Student Visa: Required for long-term study programs.
