Grenada Work Permit Photo — Exact Size, Background and Compliance Rules

A compliant photograph is one of the mandatory requirements for a Grenada work permit application submitted to the Ministry of Labour and Immigration. The accepted format is 51×51 mm (602×602 pixels) with a plain white background — photographs that fall outside these dimensions or violate any specification are returned without processing, adding weeks to the timeline. Getting the photo right on the first attempt is the simplest way to keep your application moving.

Grenada applies a single unified photograph format across its key immigration and identity documents. The work permit photo follows the same 2×2-inch (51×51 mm) standard as the Grenadian national passport — a deliberate policy alignment that simplifies compliance for applicants already familiar with Grenadian passport photography. In practice, the measurement norms, background colour, and face-coverage rules are identical whether you are applying for a passport or a work permit. However, the Ministry still requires the photograph to be recent: taken within the last six months. A photo that matches every dimension but was taken earlier will be rejected on the grounds of recency alone, so it is worth confirming the date before submission.

• Dimensions: 51×51 mm (approximately 2×2 inches); 602×602 pixels at standard print resolution
• Background: plain white (#FFFFFF) — no shadows, colour gradients, patterns, or background objects
• Face coverage: face height must occupy 49–69% of the total frame height
• Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and directed straight at the camera
• Glasses: not permitted under any circumstances
• Headwear: not permitted except for established religious reasons; the full face must remain unobstructed
• Recency: photograph must have been taken within the past six months

Common reasons photos are rejected in Grenada:

• Shadow on the white background — even a faint shadow cast behind the head or across the shoulders triggers rejection at review
• Glasses present in the photo — not accepted regardless of lens type, tint, or frame thickness
• Face-to-frame ratio outside the 49–69% range — face either cropped too tightly or the applicant appearing too small within the frame
• Photograph taken more than six months before submission, or poor print quality — pixelated, faded, or under-exposed prints do not meet the standard
