US Visa Photo FAQ

What are the US visa photo requirements?

US visa photos must be 2×2 inches (51×51mm), taken within the last 6 months, with a plain white or off-white background. Your head must measure between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25–35mm) from chin to crown, with eyes positioned 1 1/8 to 1 3/8 inches from the bottom. Neutral expression, no glasses, no headwear unless religious.

Can I take my own US visa photo at home?

Yes! VISASnap's AI photo booth lets you take a perfectly compliant US visa or passport photo from home. Our AI removes the background, sizes to 2×2 inches at 300 DPI, verifies head positioning, and ensures your photo meets all US Department of State requirements.
