UAE passport photo specifications

UAE passport, Emirates ID, and visa applications require a standard ICAO-format photograph measuring 35 × 45 mm (approximately 413 × 531 pixels) with a maximum file size of 300 KB in JPEG format on a plain white background.

The photo must show a clear front-facing view with a neutral expression, both eyes open, and no glasses with thick frames. Head coverings are permitted for religious reasons but must not obscure facial features. The photo should be recent — taken within the last 6 months.

Gulf residents and NRIs can use ToolShoppy's Passport Photo Maker with the UAE preset to auto-crop to 413×531 px and compress under 300KB — entirely on your device, no studio visit needed.
