General UAE visa photo requirements

The photo for a UAE visa must:

Be a color photograph with a white background
Feature a clear and full-face view of the applicant, and no shadows on the face or background
Be in high resolution
Have natural colors
Not be edited in any way

UAE visa photo technical specifications

The following list features other important technical specifications:

43x55 mm in size
the background must be white
the lighting and contrast should be even and uniform

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.
