A better photo is needed
- Good even lighting, no shadows
- Face straight, neutral expression, mouth closed
- Plain light background
- Camera at eye level, not too close
A document photo is a headache of its own
A Timor-Leste Visa photo has strict requirements, and a mistake costs time and money. We’ll show you how to pass on the first try.
It gets rejected
Wrong size, background or cropping — and the system returns the application.
Expensive and slow
A trip to a photo studio means a queue, time and €7–12 for a reshoot.
Confusing requirements
Exact size, head height, light background, facial expression — easy to get wrong.
Redo it all over
Rejected — take another photo, pay and submit again. Round and round.

Your Visa photo: what matters
Whether you are applying for a Timor-Leste tourist visa, a business visa, or the increasingly popular e-visa, the photo attached to your application must meet the passport-style standard enforced by the Immigration Service of Timor-Leste. Getting that photo right the first time avoids processing delays and the frustration of a rejected application — both for paper submissions and digital e-visa uploads.
One detail catches many applicants off guard: Timor-Leste's e-visa portal requires a digital passport-style photo, not a scanned paper print. The image must still conform to the national 35×45 mm proportional standard — the same specification used for physical visa and passport documents — but it must be submitted as a clean digital file. This means the technical quality of your image file matters as much as what is in the frame: correct pixel dimensions, a pure white background, and no compression artefacts that flatten facial detail.
- Size: 35×45 mm (827×1063 px for digital submission)
- Background: plain white (#FFFFFF) — no off-white, cream, or light grey
- Face coverage: face must fill 70–80% of the frame height
- Expression: neutral, mouth closed, both eyes open and clearly visible
- Glasses: not permitted under any circumstances
- Headwear: only allowed for documented religious observance; the full face must remain unobstructed
- Recency: photo must have been taken within the last six months
- Pose: straight-on, facing the camera directly; no tilting or rotation
- Common reasons photos are rejected for Timor-Leste visas:
- Non-white background: off-white walls or light-grey studio paper do not meet the #FFFFFF requirement — this is one of the most frequent causes of e-visa upload rejection
- Glasses present: even prescription glasses with no visible glare are rejected; the rule is absolute
- Incorrect face proportion: a photo where the face occupies less than 70% or more than 80% of the frame height fails the crop check used during both e-visa digital processing and counter review
- Image taken more than six months ago: Timor-Leste immigration officers verify photo recency; an older image — even a high-quality one — is grounds for refusal
To get a compliant photo without a studio visit, upload a clear, well-lit selfie or portrait. Your image is automatically cropped and sized to the exact 35×45 mm / 827×1063 px standard, the background is set to pure white, and the proportions are verified against the Immigration Service specification. Before you pay anything, you receive a free watermarked preview to check the result. If the final photo is ever rejected by the issuing authority, it will be redone at no charge or fully refunded — you pay only for a photo you are confident in.
How we make your Visa photo meet the official standard — Timor-Leste, 35 × 45 mm
Every photo is prepared against the official requirements for your document — not a generic template. Here is what that means in practice:
- 1We crop and size your photo to the exact millimetre and pixel dimensions the authority requires.
- 2We check the background, head position, gaze and lighting, and flag glasses or head coverings that are not allowed.
- 3We match the rules to the specific document and country, citing the official source of those requirements.
- 4If anything does not meet the standard, you get a free re-do or your money back.

A digital photo is normal, and it gets accepted — Timor-Leste, 35 × 45 mm
You do not need a trip to a studio. Authorities accept any Visa photo that meets the official requirements — what matters is the standard, not where the photo was made. We match that standard exactly.
The standard is what counts
Officials check your photo against the rules — size, background, head position and lighting — not where you took it.
Part of official processes
Many passport, visa and ID services let you upload a digital photo or submit a print — both are fine when they meet the spec.
Same result as a studio
We prepare your file to the exact official measurements, so it is accepted just like a professional studio photo.
And you are covered
If a photo is ever rejected for not meeting the requirements, we redo it for free or refund you.
How to take a good photo
