What size is the Singapore visa photo?

Printed, 35 x 45 mm. As a digital photo, 400 pixels wide, 514 pixels tall. The file: JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF; up to 8,000 KB. These are the official rules as checked on 4 November 2026.

Can I wear glasses in my Singapore visa photo?

Yes, but only with no tint and no glare, and with your eyes clearly visible.

What expression does the Singapore visa photo need?

Full face, facing forward with eyes open, looking at the camera.

Can I wear a head covering in my Singapore visa photo?

Only if worn under religious or racial customs and not hiding the facial features; avoid white headgear.

How recent must my Singapore visa photo be?

Taken in the last 3 months. These are the official rules as checked on 4 November 2026.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The photo is read and checked in your browser. 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 4 November 2026; you confirm the rest, such as glasses, expression and how recent the photo is.

What does the Detail check add?

Detail check for your Singapore visa photo, €6.99: the Detail check of your own photo against the official rules (opt-in; it never changes your photo), unlimited re-checks and the whole family's photos for this document for 30 days. No file and no print sheet: the rules don't allow us to change this photo. Pay only once your photo passes. Refund if the authority rejects a photo that passed. Paid once, with no subscription. In the Detail check our AI model, run in the EU, checks glasses, expression, shadows and more in the file you chose, if you choose to send it, and never changes it. Without buying you can check any photo here and save the acceptance report, free.
