Resolution and edits in a UAE visa photo

As the photo is for an official document, the resolution must be high in order for all facial features to be clearly visible. This also means that the visa photo has to reflect your current appearance truthfully, which is why editing or retouching is not allowed.

Headgear and glasses 

Glasses are not allowed in the UAE visa photo. You can wear head coverings or religious attire in your UAE visa photo as long as your entire face is visible, including both ears. Also, make sure there are no shadows over the face as well.

Clothing and other accessories

When taking your visa photo, keep in mind that it is advised to wear casual, everyday clothes. The reason for this is that there cannot be too much contrast with the face and background. Jewelry should be removed to prevent glare or reflections.
