What the official pages say about the Vietnam e-Visa photo
Vietnam's e-Visa is for foreigners who are abroad and want to enter Vietnam, not for foreigners already living there on temporary residence, and it can only be used at the border gates on the government's approved list. On evisa.gov.vn the photos come first: step 1 asks you to upload your portrait and a photo of your passport's data page. The system checks both automatically and, when they are valid, fills in your passport details for you to review.
If the passport image is not valid, the system will not let you submit the application. The portrait must be a recent 4 × 6 cm image, saved as JPG or JPEG and smaller than 2 MB. It should face the front, with no hat and no glasses, in formal clothes and against a white background. Answers must be in English, and an application is denied if the immigration authority finds dishonest information in it. The guide gives no separate photo rules for children.

Questions and answers
What size is the Vietnam e-Visa photo?
The photo is 40 × 60 mm. The official rules do not fix a pixel size. SafeResize makes a sharp 472 × 709 pixel file that fits every other rule.
What is the Vietnam e-Visa photo size in cm, inches and pixels?
40 × 60 mm is 4 × 6 cm or 1.57 × 2.36 inches, in a 2:3 shape. Printed at 300 DPI it is 472 × 709 pixels, and at 600 DPI 945 × 1417 pixels. These are conversions of the official size, not extra rules.
What file size does the Vietnam e-Visa photo need to be?
Up to 2 MB. 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 Vietnam e-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 Vietnam e-Visa photo?
From the chin to the top of the head, your head should fill 60% to 75% of the photo height. The official rules do not state this, so we use a usual range for this shape of photo. The face guide in the tool shows both lines.
Can I wear glasses in my Vietnam e-Visa photo?
The official rules say: No hat, no glasses, formal clothes.
Is the Vietnam e-Visa photo the same for Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani applicants?
Yes. The photo rules on evisa.gov.vn do not change with nationality, so Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani applicants follow the same ones. Which visa you can apply for does depend on your nationality, and a visa centre in your country may add its own checklist.
What else do the Vietnam e-Visa photo rules say?
A newly taken photo, facing straight ahead. No hat, no glasses, formal clothes. The website checks your photo automatically and warns about low resolution, no face or several faces, a tilted head, a photo copied from elsewhere, or a poor match with your passport photo.
Which file format should I use?
JPG. 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.
