Hungary Visa Passport Photo Standards

The following guidelines apply to passport photographs submitted for Hungary visa applications:

• Dimensions: The photograph must be 35 mm in height and 45 mm in width, with the head itself measuring between 32 mm and 36 mm; approximately 70 to 80 per cent of the image should comprise the applicant’s face.

• File Size Limitation: Digital file submissions are restricted to a maximum of 5 MB, requiring a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Printed photographs must be produced on high-quality matte or glossy paper.

• Accepted Formats: JPEG format is mandated for digital submissions.

• Background Specifications: A plain, light-coloured background—typically white or light grey—is required. The background must be free of shadows, textures, or any patterned elements.

• Facial Capture: The face within the photograph needs to be centred, fully visible from the chin to the crown of the head, with the shoulders within the image frame.

• Border Requirements: Photographs must be borderless. No frames, borders, or other decorative elements are permitted.

• Photo Recency: The photograph must have been taken within the preceding six months.

• Head Alignment: The applicant’s head must be positioned directly facing the camera, maintaining a level gaze. Tilting the head is not allowed.

• Image Quality: Images must be sharp, clear and in full colour, avoiding pixelation and ensuring proper colour and luminance without any visible shadow and/or light reflections.

• Facial Expression Norms: A neutral facial expression conforming to guidelines with a closed mouth, opened eyes, with a slightly natural smile permissible that avoids the display of teeth is mandated.

• Headwear Regulations: Headgear is authorised only for religious observances – however, the headgear in the images must show maximum face view.

• Eyeglasses Policies: Clear eyeglasses are permissible if there is no glare; the resulting image displays the most accurate interpretation. Frames aren’t able to obscure part of each of the Applicant’s Eyes: Tinted or sunglasses aren’t to be submitted.

• Clothing Stipulations: Common attire that stands in contrast to the uniform neutral picture backgrounds of common-use items and should be restricted to avoid light background clothes - uniforms/camouflage patterns restricted due to not being suitable.

Detailed Explanation of Hungary Visa Photo Requirements

Digital and Print Requirements

Digital photos must be JPEG, under 5 MB, and at least 300 dpi. Printed photos should be on matte or glossy photographic paper with no creases, stains, or gloss marks. Photos must be original and unedited.

Head and Facial Framing

The head should be positioned centrally within the image, and accounting for approximately 70 to 80 percent of the total vertical space. All facial characteristics, from the base of the chin upwards to the crown of the head, must be clearly visible. Including the upper shoulders will contribute to achieving effective framing in the image.

Background and Lighting

Photos must be taken against a plain white or light grey background. Lighting should be even and soft, avoiding shadows or glare. Natural skin tones must be preserved without overexposure.

Camera Requirements

The applicant’s gaze must be directed straight at the camera, displaying a neutral expression and a closed mouth. A subtle, genuine smile is permitted provided that no teeth are discernible. The eyes must be fully open and unobstructed, and the head must be aligned horizontally.

Eye Wear and Head Coverings

Eyewear is permitted, contingent upon the absence of glare or any obstruction to clear vision. The use of tinted lenses or sunglasses is strictly prohibited. Religious headwear may be worn, provided it does not conceal any portion of the face.

Dress Code Requirements

Applicants are required to wear civilian attire that differs noticeably from the background environment. It is prohibited to wear entirely white clothing, including uniforms and camouflage.

Image Specifications for Minors

• Applicants must provide two identical photographs conforming to passport-size specifications. Should a child also be included on an accompanying parent’s application or visa request, one image must be attached to the parent’s form.

• The submitted image must feature solely the child, excluding toys, arms, adults, or any other extraneous individuals. A neutral facial expression is recommended, recognizing that infants frequently display closed eyes. The subject’s head must be positioned straight, directly facing the camera, while ensuring full visibility within the designated frame.

• All standard photographic requirements governing adults are applicable to minors, encompassing dimensions, backgrounds, illumination, orientation, sharpness, garments, and overall image quality. Clothing should be basic and distinguishable from the photographic backdrop. Pictures must be recent and unambiguously clear.
