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, then take away both the upload file and a 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, and 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, with no shadows behind the head. The check measures both the shade and the uniformity before you pay.
How we handle compliance
- We check 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.
- What you get is a report of measurements, not a guarantee. Final acceptance always rests with the issuing authority.
