What the official pages say about the Taiwan Visa photo
Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs asks visitor visa applicants for two passport-size colour photos, 45 mm high and 35 mm wide, taken within the last 6 months, on a white background. Its passport photo rules, written for the same size, add the details: the head from chin to crown measures 32 to 36 mm, and the two photos are identical and printed on plain, high-quality photographic paper.
Your eyes must show clearly, with no reflection or glare on glasses. Avoid tinted glasses unless you are visually impaired, and do not wear coloured or circle contact lenses, which the bureau says may lead to visa rejection. Head coverings are only for religious or medical reasons, with your face shown from chin to forehead and both edges visible. A child's photo shows the head and shoulders only, with no chair, toy, pacifier or other person. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in Chennai asks Indian applicants for the same: two passport-size photos with a white background.
