Thailand Passport Photo Specifications

The Royal Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) issues passports using a 40×60mm (4×6cm) photo, larger than the 35×45mm format most countries use. Photos are typically captured at the Department of Consular Affairs in Bangkok, regional MFA offices, or accredited Thai consulates abroad.

  • Size: 40×60mm, 4×6cm (472×709px at 300 DPI).
  • Background: plain white. No shadows, patterns, or colour gradients.
  • Head height: at least 45mm chin to crown (75–83% of the image height).
  • Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and looking at the camera.
  • No glasses, no tinted lenses, no decorative contact lenses.
  • Religious head coverings accepted if worn daily — face must remain fully visible.
  • Photo must be taken within the last 6 months.

Thai Passport Photo at MFA Bangkok and Abroad

Adults and children renewing or applying for a Thai passport submit the same 40×60mm photo. Some applicants are photographed on-site at the MFA office; bringing a compliant printed photo speeds the process and provides a backup if on-site capture fails.

  • MFA Bangkok (Department of Consular Affairs) and regional offices.
  • Royal Thai Consulates and Embassies abroad.
  • Mobile passport units at provincial events.
  • Children under 7 may have relaxed expression rules but the same size standard.

Top Reasons Thai Passport Photos Get Rejected

Most rejections come from photo studio quality or DIY background issues.

  • Off-white or coloured background.
  • Glasses, decorative contact lenses, or sunglasses.
  • Smiling or visible teeth.
  • Heavy filters or skin smoothing that change facial features.
  • Head tilted or chin too high/low.
  • Hair covering the eyes or eyebrows.
