Use this Taiwan Passport Photo Requirements guide to check the photo size, background, face position, and export format before you upload or print your document photo.
Before submitting, compare the final crop against your appointment checklist. A clean source photo, even lighting, and the right print resolution usually matter more than aggressive editing or artificial sharpening.

BOCA (Bureau of Consular Affairs) requires both ears to be clearly visible. Long hair covering the ears is one of the most common rejection reasons for Taiwan passport photos. Tuck hair behind both ears.
Taiwan strictly requires a plain white background with no patterns, gradients, or shadows. Photo booths sometimes produce slightly gray results - our tool guarantees a compliant white background every time.
Even a slight smile showing teeth will be rejected. BOCA wants a completely neutral expression - mouth closed, lips relaxed. Think of the expression you'd have while reading something ordinary.
Colored or circle contact lenses alter your eye appearance and are not permitted. Remove decorative contacts before taking the photo. Prescription clear lenses are fine.
The head height (from chin to top of head) must be between 32-36mm in the printed photo. Too close or too far from the camera creates wrong proportions. Let our AI crop to the perfect ratio automatically.
Standing too close to the wall creates shadows behind your head. Step about 50cm away from the wall and use front-facing light to eliminate any background shadows completely.
Stand in front of a clean white wall with even lighting on your face. Look directly at the camera, keep a neutral expression, and make sure both ears are visible. Hair should be neat and off the face.
Upload your photo and the AI instantly removes the background, centers your face, and crops to the exact 35 x 45mm BOCA-compliant format - all in seconds, right in your browser.
Download the finished file and print 2 copies on glossy photo paper. You can print at any 7-Eleven ibon kiosk, FamilyMart Famiport, or local photo studio in Taiwan for just NT$6-10 per print.

For Taiwan Passport Photo Requirements, the safest result starts with a simple front-facing portrait: camera at eye level, shoulders straight, no heavy shadows, and a plain background that can be cleaned without cutting into the hair or face outline.
Do not reuse a cropped social-media profile picture unless it still has enough resolution. A low-quality source can pass the preview on screen but look soft after printing, especially when a 300 DPI sheet is required.
Use the country preset first, then compare the size, background, and face position against the exact passport, visa, ID, or embassy checklist for your appointment. Some offices update upload limits without changing the public photo size.
