Passport and ID photo requirements
No verified photo presets for Schengen area (Europe) yet.
The EU's Schengen visa page contains no numeric photo specification, and requirements are set by each member state or consulate. Many checklists ask for 35 × 45 mm, but we do not publish that as a Schengen standard. Follow the checklist from the consulate you apply to.
