How to take a Portugal Visa (in Indonesia and Philippines) Photo with your phone

Put your back to a plain, evenly lit wall and have someone hold the phone at your eye level, about 1.5 metres away, using the rear camera. Daylight from a window in front of you removes the shadows that get a Portugal Visa (in Indonesia and Philippines) Photo rejected. Keep your shoulders square, look straight into the lens, and let us crop to 30×40 mm with the head at 70–80% of the photo height.

Why a Portugal Visa (in Indonesia and Philippines) Photo comes back

Most rejected photos fail on three things: a background that is not #FFFFFF, a head that is too large or too small in the frame, and shadows or glare from a lamp behind the camera. Photos taken from too close also distort the face, and anything scanned or photographed off a screen loses the sharpness the clerk needs.

Where a Portugal Visa (in Indonesia and Philippines) Photo is used

A Portugal Visa (in Indonesia and Philippines) Photo is submitted with the application for this document in Portugália, whether you apply at a counter or upload the file online. Keep both the digital file and a printed sheet: many offices still ask for a physical print, and the digital copy saves you a second trip if the form is rejected for another reason.

Accepted and rejected examples

The same person six times. The three on the left follow the rules above; the three on the right are the mistakes we see most.

  • Illustration: a centred head and shoulders on an even, plain background
    Accepted

    Even light, plain background

    Daylight from the front, no shadow on the wall, background a single flat colour.

  • Illustration: a straight, centred head with the eye line marked
    Accepted

    Head straight and centred

    Eyes level, shoulders square to the camera, the whole face visible from chin to crown.

  • Illustration: a neutral face with the mouth closed and both eyes open
    Accepted

    Neutral expression, eyes open

    Mouth closed, both eyes open and unobscured, hair away from the eyes.

  • Illustration: a head casting a hard shadow on the wall behind it
    Rejected

    Shadow on the background

    A lamp behind the camera throws a hard shadow, so the background is no longer one colour.

  • Illustration: a tilted, off-centre head inside the frame
    Rejected

    Head tilted or off centre

    The face is turned away from the lens and sits off the centre line, so the measurements fail.

  • Illustration: a smiling face with glare across the glasses
    Rejected

    Glare, smile or covered eyes

    Reflections on the lenses, a smile with visible teeth, or a fringe across the eyes.

The most common reasons this photo comes back

Each of these is checked automatically before you pay, so you find out in seconds rather than weeks.

  1. The background is not #FFFFFF

    A patterned wall, a second colour, or a shadow behind the head all break the plain background this document requires. We replace the background with the exact colour above.

  2. The head is the wrong size in the frame

    The head must measure 70–80% of the photo height from chin to crown. Standing too close makes it too large, and a cropped snapshot usually makes it too small.

  3. Blurred or low resolution

    A photo of a printed photo, a screenshot, or an image scaled up from a small crop loses the detail the clerk looks for. Shoot with the rear camera, not a screenshot.

  4. Uneven light on the face

    One lamp on one side leaves half the face dark. Face a window, or use two light sources at the same distance.
