Can I wear glasses for a Vietnam eVisa photo?
No. The verified eVisa source notes require the portrait photo to be taken without glasses. Remove eyeglasses, sunglasses, and tinted lenses before taking the photo.
Can I wear a hat or head covering?
The standard eVisa portrait instructions say no hat. Use an uncovered, front-facing photo unless an official case-specific exception applies.
What expression should I use?
Use a neutral, natural expression with both eyes open and the face looking directly at the camera.
How recent does the photo need to be?
Use a newly taken photo that reflects your current appearance. Avoid old portraits, filters, and beautification.
What size and format should I upload?
Use a JPG/JPEG portrait equivalent to 4 x 6 cm, generated here as 472 x 709 px, on a white background. Keep the file at or below 2 MB.
Live validation
against the actual rulebook.
Every crop is measured against the published tolerance ranges for the selected document. Pass or warn, in real time — no "submit and hope."
The same checks the authority will run — before you submit.
- Face height & eye line measured from the pupil midpoint with sub-pixel accuracy, clamped to the tolerance range your authority publishes.
- Background colour checked across a sampled grid — catches gradients and fringe from poor segmentation (ΔE < 3 against spec).
- File-size ceiling enforced per-spec — recompressed silently for sub-60 KB e-visa portals, lossless for print.
- Sharpness & expression guards warn on blur, closed eyes, or non-neutral expressions before you export.
