Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌

Ears Not Visible

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.

❌

Non-White Background

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.

❌

Mouth Open or Smiling

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.

❌

Wearing Colored Contacts

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.

❌

Incorrect Head Size

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.

❌

Shadows on the Background

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.

How to Take a Perfect Taiwan Passport Photo

📸

1. Take Your Photo

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the official Taiwan passport photo size? ▼
The standard Taiwan (ROC) passport photo is 35mm × 45mm. The head height from chin to crown must be 32-36mm. BOCA follows ICAO standards, so photos must be high resolution, well-lit, and taken within the last 6 months.
Do I need to show both ears in Taiwan passport photos? ▼
Yes — this is one of Taiwan's strictest requirements. Both ears must be clearly visible. Tie back long hair, remove earbuds, and ensure nothing covers your ears. This helps the biometric facial recognition system work properly.
Can I wear glasses in my Taiwan passport photo? ▼
BOCA now recommends removing glasses entirely. If you must wear them, the frames cannot be thick, cannot cover your eyebrows, and there must be zero glare or reflection on the lenses. To be safe, just take them off.
Where can I print passport photos in Taiwan? ▼
Anywhere! Use the ibon kiosk at any 7-Eleven (over 6,000 locations island-wide), Famiport at FamilyMart, or visit a local photo printing shop (相片沖印). Download your image from VisaPicPro and print directly — costs as little as NT$6.
Is VisaPicPro really free for Taiwan passport photos? ▼
Absolutely free — no account needed, no watermarks, no hidden fees. Photo studios in Taiwan charge NT$150-300 for passport photos. Save that money and create yours at home in under 60 seconds. Your photo never leaves your device.
