What the official pages say about the Thailand e-Visa photo
Thailand's e-Visa website is for people applying from outside Thailand, and applicants no longer hand in their passport and papers in person at a Thai embassy or consulate. You upload a photograph taken within the last six months; the site warns that a photo that does not reflect your current appearance may lead to refusal of entry. It checks each photo against the ICAO standard as you upload it and says when yours might fail the guidelines.
Upload a JPG or JPEG of up to 3 MB, at least 160 pixels high. Your head should take up 70 to 80% of the photo, centred and looking forward, with a neutral expression and your mouth closed. Both eyes must be visible, with no glare from glasses and no sunglasses, tinted lenses, frames or hair covering them, and with no red eye. The background should be plain and light-coloured, with no spots, lines or curves, and there must be no other people or objects in the photo.

Plain light colour, no patterns (white is safest). Stand in front of a plain wall with no pattern, and face a window so there are no shadows behind you.
