Vietnam Passport Photo Specifications

The Vietnam Immigration Department issues citizen passports using a 4×6cm photo standard — a portrait aspect ratio larger than the 35×45mm international ICAO size. The photo is used for both the printed passport book and on the digital citizen ID system.

  • Size: 4×6cm (40×60mm) — 472×709px at 300 DPI.
  • Background: plain white. No patterns or coloured backgrounds.
  • Face size: the Immigration Department's guide asks for the face to take up about 75% of the photo. We keep the head at 70–80% of the image height.
  • Eye line: the space above the eyes is about two thirds of the space below them.
  • Both ears visible, head uncovered.
  • Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and looking at the camera.
  • No glasses, no tinted lenses.
  • Religious head coverings accepted — face must remain fully visible.
  • Photo must be in sharp focus with even lighting.

Vietnam Passport vs eVisa Photo

The Vietnam passport uses a 4×6cm physical photo for print and a 472×709 pixel digital file. The Vietnam eVisa, by contrast, uses the same digital pixel size but is uploaded online to the Immigration Department's eVisa portal. Both require a plain white background.

  • Vietnam passport — 4×6cm physical photo (printed) and 472×709px JPEG.
  • Vietnam eVisa — 472×709px JPEG under 1MB uploaded online.
  • Both share the same background, expression, and no-glasses rules.

Top Reasons Vietnam Passport Photos Get Rejected

Most rejections at provincial immigration offices come from sizing and background issues.

  • Photo printed as 35×45mm instead of 4×6cm.
  • Off-white or grey background.
  • Glasses or sunglasses.
  • Smiling or open mouth.
  • Photo blurry or pixelated.
  • Filters changing facial features.
