What the official pages say about the Bangladesh Visa photo

Bangladesh's online visa form is on the Machine Readable Visa (MRV) portal, visa.gov.bd, which takes applications for new visas, extensions, No Visa Required (NVR) and on-arrival visas. You fill in the form online, print it and take it, with your documents and fee receipt, to the nearest visa office or Bangladesh mission; a submitted form is valid for 7 days. The portal mentions a 45 × 35 mm digital photo, a JPEG of at most 300 KB, but calls it optional. The printed form needs one: its instructions say to glue a colour 45 × 35 mm photo with a white background to its top left corner.

Missions add their own lists. In Chennai, the Deputy High Commission asks for two recent 35 × 45 mm photos on white and a copy of your Aadhaar or PAN card, and Indian nationals pay no visa fee. The embassy in Kathmandu wants two clear photos without shadows, looking straight at the camera, and written consent from a parent for applicants under 18. None of these pages mention glasses or head coverings.

How to make your Bangladesh Visa photo

  1. Stand about an arm's length from the camera in front of a plain wall (white). Face a window for soft, even light.
  2. Add the photo on this page. It stays on your device.
  3. Drag and zoom until your face fills the green oval: top of the head on the top line, chin on the bottom line.
  4. Download the photo. The pixels, file size and format are checked before you save it.
  5. Upload it to the official application.

Questions and answers

What size is the Bangladesh Visa photo?

The photo is 35 × 45 mm. The official rules do not fix a pixel size. SafeResize makes a sharp 413 × 531 pixel file that fits every other rule.

What is the Bangladesh Visa photo size in cm, inches and pixels?

35 × 45 mm is 3.5 × 4.5 cm or 1.38 × 1.77 inches, in a 7:9 shape. Printed at 300 DPI it is 413 × 531 pixels, and at 600 DPI 827 × 1063 pixels. These are conversions of the official size, not extra rules.

What file size does the Bangladesh Visa photo need to be?

Up to 300 KB. SafeResize checks the size before you download, and keeps it inside the limit whether the website counts 1 KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.

What background colour does the Bangladesh Visa photo need?

White. Stand in front of a plain wall with no pattern, and face a window so there are no shadows behind you. If your wall is not plain enough, the photo maker on this page can make the background white with an AI that runs on your device. Check the edges around your hair afterwards.

How big should my head be in the Bangladesh Visa photo?

From the chin to the top of the head, your head should fill 70% to 80% of the photo height. The official rules do not state this, so we use the international (ICAO) guideline. The face guide in the tool shows both lines.

What photo do Indian applicants need for a Bangladesh visa?

The Deputy High Commission in Chennai asks for two recent 35 × 45 mm photos with a white background, plus a copy of your Aadhaar or PAN card, and says Indian citizens pay no visa fee. Other missions publish their own lists, so check the one you apply to.

Do I have to upload a photo on visa.gov.bd?

No. The portal lists a 45 × 35 mm JPEG of up to 300 KB as optional. The printed form still needs a colour 45 × 35 mm photo on white, glued to its top left corner, and the Deputy High Commission in Chennai asks for two printed photos.

I am from Nepal. Do I need a photo for a Bangladesh visa?

The Bangladesh Embassy in Kathmandu says Nepali citizens visiting for tourism can get a free 30-day single-entry visa once a year at any international airport in Bangladesh; its page does not say what photo that needs. To apply through the embassy instead, bring the printed visa.gov.bd form with its bar code and two recent passport-size photos.

What else do the Bangladesh Visa photo rules say?

Uploading a digital photo is optional. Print the form and take it to a Bangladesh embassy, high commission or visa office. Glue a 45 × 35 mm colour photo with a white background to the top-left corner of the form.

Which file format should I use?

JPEG. SafeResize saves a JPG (JPEG) file.

Can I take this photo at home?

Yes. A photo taken at home is fine if it follows the rules above. It is easier if someone else takes it for you.

Is my photo uploaded to SafeResize?

No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your phone or computer.
