Singapore Visa Photo Specifications (ICA)

The Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) accepts a 35×45mm photo standard for visa applications submitted through SAVE (Singapore e-Visa) and the ICA portal, as well as for entry passes and pass renewals.

  • Size: 35×45mm (413×531px at 300 DPI) — ICAO biometric standard.
  • Background: plain white. No shadows, patterns, or colour.
  • Head height: roughly 64–76% of the image height (chin to crown).
  • Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and looking at the camera.
  • No glasses, no tinted lenses.
  • Religious head coverings accepted — face fully visible.
  • Photo must be taken within the last 3 months.

Singapore Visa, Pass Renewal, and PR Use the Same Photo

The 35×45mm ICA standard covers most Singapore immigration submissions, including visa applications and online pass renewals.

  • Visit Visa (SAVE / e-Visa) — uploaded online to ICA.
  • Employment Pass, S Pass, Work Permit renewals.
  • Long Term Visit Pass and Dependant's Pass.
  • Permanent Resident applications (which use a separate detailed photo guide).
