Before you take it

  • Stand a step in front of a plain white wall, with nothing behind you.
  • Face a window or soft light: even light on the face, no shadows on it or behind.
  • Phone at eye level, about 1.5 m away: ask someone, or hold it at arm's length.
  • Glasses only with no tint and no glare on them.
  • A neutral face, eyes open, looking straight at the camera.

Check and make your photo

The first photo loads the face finder and the background outline from this site, about 15 MB, once.

The face finder and the background outline run in this page from files served by this site (sources and licences). They find where a face is in the photo; they never recognise who it is.

What background does the Laos e-visa photo need?

Can I wear glasses in my Laos e-visa photo?
Yes, but only with no tint and no glare, and with your eyes clearly visible.

Can I wear a head covering in my Laos e-visa photo?

How recent must my Laos e-visa photo be?
Taken in the last 6 months. These are the official rules as checked on 5 November 2026.
Can I take my Laos e-visa photo at home?
The official rules, as checked on 5 November 2026, ask for no photographer or studio, so a photo taken at home can meet them if it meets every rule on this page.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is read and checked in your browser, and any file is saved on your device. The page tells our server only that a photo was checked, that it passed, or that a file was saved; never the photo, your face or any measurement. It finds where your face is in the photo; it never recognises who you are.
How is the head measured?
The page finds your chin and eyes in the photo and estimates the top of your head from your forehead, since hair hides it: the dashed line shows the estimate. If it is not at the top of your head, move it with Top of head and the checks follow.
Will my photo be accepted?
Only the issuing authority decides. A photo that passes every check here meets the published size, head and background rules as checked on 5 November 2026; you confirm the rest, such as glasses, expression and how recent the photo is.
