The distance between the face and the camera should be about 40 cm. Ideally the photo should be taken by the other person.
Place your face in front of the lens. Hold the camera at eye level and keep neutral face expression.
Stand facing the light source, for example an exposed window. The background will be cut out, don't worry about it.
The photo requirements for a European Union visa application include:
You can wear glasses or head coverings for your European Union visa photo, but only if they do not obstruct your face. The photo should show a clear and unobstructed view of your face.
There are clothing and background restrictions for a European Union visa photo. Clothing should be neutral and not blend in with the background. The background should be a plain and light-coloured wall, and not have any patterns, shadows, or other distracting elements.
The size and resolution required for a European Union visa photo may vary depending on the country or embassy processing your application. Typically, the photo should be 35mm x 45mm and have a resolution of at least 600 pixels per inch (ppi).
Whether or not you can use a selfie for your European Union visa photo depends on the specific requirements of the embassy or consulate processing your visa application. Generally, it is recommended to use a professional photo taken by a photographer, rather than a selfie.
