Official document photos in ОАЭ
Emirati passports, Emirates ID cards and residence permits share a 40 × 60 mm photo on a white background, while a UAE visa uses 43 × 55 mm and the Emirates airline visa form asks for a 300 × 369 pixel file. The photo must show the whole face with a neutral expression; national dress and headscarves are accepted as long as the face stays uncovered. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security handles the applications, and print shops here work in 10 × 15 cm.
