What is a Taiwan Passport photo?

A Taiwanese passport photo is 35×45 mm with the head measuring 32–36 mm from chin to crown — roughly 70–80% of the frame — on a plain white background with uniform lighting and no shadows, taken within the last six months.

The Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) accepts digital uploads of at least 413×531 pixels as JPG up to 5 MB for its online services, while counter applications take two printed photos. Glasses are permitted without glare; tinted lenses only with documented visual impairment.

Check your photo against the BOCA geometry live in your browser, then take away both the upload file and an exact 35×45 mm print sheet for counter applications.

Frequently asked questions

What are the Taiwan passport photo requirements?

35×45 mm (excluding any frame), chin-to-crown 32–36 mm, plain white background, neutral expression, eyes visible with hair off the eyebrows, taken within the last 6 months. Digital: minimum 413×531 px, JPG, RGB, up to 5 MB.

Are glasses allowed?

Yes, if there's no glare and the frames are not thick or covering the eyes; tinted lenses only for the visually impaired with documentation. Head coverings are religious or medical only.

Can I apply online with my own photo?

BOCA's online service accepts photo uploads for eligible applications — the file this page delivers clears the 413×531 minimum with correct proportions. Counter applications take two printed photos; the sheet gives you four.

White background strictly?

Yes — plain white, evenly lit, no shadows behind the head. The live check measures both the shade and the uniformity before you pay.

Compliance, honestly

  • We validate your photo against the official rules — we never retouch your face, and we only normalize the background where the destination country permits it.
  • Every requirement is cited from official government sources, with the verification date shown on the page.
  • You get a measured report, not a guarantee — final acceptance always rests with the issuing authority.
