Size and Format
The size of your photo for your Qatar visa must be 35x45mm, with 80% of your head and shoulders filling the photo. You must also distance yourself from the camera at an appropriate length, so you don’t appear too far away or close to the lens.
Photo Quality
Your Qatar visa photo must be clear, in focus, and with great quality so that your features are all seen in the photo. Your photos mustn’t have any creases, tears, or scratches.
Head Position
To submit an acceptable photo for your Qatar visa, you must keep your head straight and look forward toward the camera. You cannot be looking sideways, over your shoulder, or have your eye line of sight in another direction. You also cannot submit a selfie for your visa photo. You must also keep a neutral facial expression with your eyes and mouth closed.
Brightness and Background
Your Qatar visa photo must have enough brightness so that your facial features are all seen in the photo with no overlapping shadows or contrast. The background of your Qatar visa photo must be white, clear of objects, and with no patterns or designs.
Headwear and Accessories
Headwear is not allowed unless it’s for religious or medical purposes. Headwear usually includes items like hats, sunglasses, hairbands, etc. You also have to make sure that if you wear eyeglasses (for medical purposes), the frames are not covering your eyes. You must also make sure that your hair is tied back or away from your face, so it doesn’t cover your eyes or ears.
