Prepare a Thai e-Passport photo
Thai passport and e-Passport photos use 35×45 mm on a white background. Both ears should stay visible when the checklist asks for a full-face view.
Centre the face for 35×45 mm with a small margin above the hair. Thai desks reject tight crops that touch the chin edge.
Use a true white backdrop—not cream tiles that photograph yellow under warm LEDs.
Religious head coverings are usually accepted when the face from forehead to chin stays fully visible without shadow.
| Specification | Official requirement |
|---|---|
| Photo size | 35 × 45 mm |
| Background | Plain light colour |
| Expression | Neutral, mouth closed |
| Pose | Facing the camera |
| Recency | Usually within 6 months |
Always confirm the latest rules on the official government site before you submit.
Cream or textured walls, wrong head size after a selfie, and beauty filters cause most delays.
- Tuck hair behind ears when possible.
- Shoot in daylight facing the wall.
- Disable portrait-mode blur.
- Export JPEG before any chat-app share.
