Palestine Visa Photo: Exact 30×40 mm Requirements & Compliant Photo Fast

A Palestine visa application requires a photo that conforms precisely to the official 30×40 mm (3×4 cm) specification. Getting the dimensions, background colour, and framing right the first time means your application moves forward without delays. Our service automatically crops and calibrates your uploaded picture to the exact standard, so the file you download is ready to print or attach immediately.

One detail that catches many applicants off guard: the Palestine visa photo format — 30×40 mm — is smaller than the 35×45 mm size used for most Western passports and IDs. This 3×4 cm format is the national standard carried through to visa applications, and it is not interchangeable with a 35×45 photo. Equally distinctive is the required background: a specific shade of blue (#6FA8DC), directly inherited from Palestinian national document standards. Submitting a photo on a white or light-grey background — the default for most international visas — is one of the most common reasons for refusal. Both the size and the background colour must be correct before anything else is evaluated.

• Size: 30×40 mm (709×945 px at print resolution)
• Background: solid blue, #6FA8DC — no gradients, shadows, or patterns
• Face coverage: face must fill 70–80% of the frame height
• Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and looking directly at the camera
• Glasses: not permitted under any circumstances
• Headwear: permitted only for documented religious reasons; face must remain fully visible
• Recency: photo must have been taken within the last 6 months

• Wrong background colour: using white, off-white, or grey instead of the required blue (#6FA8DC) is the leading cause of photo rejection for Palestine visas
• Wrong print size: printing at 35×45 mm instead of 30×40 mm is a frequent error, especially for applicants who have recently applied for a Schengen or UK visa
• Glasses worn: eyeglasses — including thin frames or lightly tinted lenses — are not allowed regardless of medical necessity; a separate glasses-free photo is required
• Insufficient face coverage: a photo taken from too far away, where the face occupies less than 70% of the frame height, will be returned for retake
