The photo requirements for a Latvian visa application include:
There are no specific facial expressions required for a Latvia visa photo, but the applicant should have a neutral expression, with mouth closed, and eyes open and visible. Smiling in a Latvia visa photo isn’t recommended, because there is a high chance the photo won’t be accepted.
The size and format of the photo required for a Latvia visa is 3.5x4.5 cm (1.37x1.77 inch), taken in front of a plain white background, and in a JPEG format. Ensure the background is free of shadows, patterns, objects and other people. Additionally, make sure your clothes are not interfering with the background and contrast.
The clothing requirements for a Latvia visa photo are that the applicant's shoulders and head must be covered, and no uniforms are allowed unless for religious reasons. Glasses and headwear in Latvia visa photos are acceptable, as long as they do not cause reflections or obscure the applicant's eyes.
The Latvia visa photo must be taken within the last 6 months. It is important to ensure that your photo has good quality, at least 300 dpi (dots per inch), and accurately reflects your current appearance.
Our visa photo editing tool that uses AI has got you covered. With our tool, you can upload a simple selfie and have it automatically converted into a biometric photograph that meets the standards for a Latvia visa photo.
The AI removes the background, adjusts the size, crops the photo, and even checks and fixes the lighting to ensure that your photo is perfect. Plus, your photo will go through a verification process with a human photo expert. Ready to get started?
