Chad Visa Photo — Exact Requirements & Instant Compliant File

A Chad visa application — whether submitted through an e-visa portal or a consular mission — requires a photo that precisely matches the official standard: 50×50 mm (591×591 px), printed or uploaded on a pure white background (#FFFFFF), with your face filling 65–78 % of the frame height. Getting every detail right the first time saves you a rejection and a resubmission delay.

Chad's photo standard is notable for its strict square format and self-supplied digital upload workflow. Unlike countries that require a photo taken at an official centre, Chad's e-visa system accepts a photo you provide yourself — which means the compliance burden is entirely on the applicant. A slightly off-white background, a shadow behind the head, or a cropped chin will trigger an automatic rejection with no explanation. Because the photo is uploaded digitally rather than printed and handed over in person, pixel dimensions matter as much as the physical measurements: the file must resolve to exactly 591×591 pixels at standard print resolution.

• Size: 50×50 mm / 591×591 px (square format)
• Background: pure white (#FFFFFF) — no off-white, cream, or grey gradients
• Face coverage: 65–78 % of the total frame height
• Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and looking directly at the camera
• Glasses: not permitted under any circumstances
• Headwear: only for verified religious purposes; face must remain fully visible
• Recency: taken within the last six months; your current appearance must match
• Lighting: even, no shadows on the face or background

• Common reasons Chad visa photos are rejected:
• Background not pure white: a slightly warm or grey tone — common in home photos — fails the automated colour check on the e-visa portal
• Incorrect square crop: applicants often submit standard 35×45 mm portrait-format photos; Chad requires a 50×50 mm square, so the framing is completely different
• Glasses present: even clear, non-tinted glasses are banned; the rule is applied strictly regardless of medical need
• Face fills too little of the frame: a distant shot where the face occupies less than 65 % of the height is a frequent automatic rejection trigger on digital upload systems
