Notes to the sheet

  1. Egypt Residence permit photo requirements at a glance

    • The Egypt Residence permit photo is 40 × 60 mm.
    • The head takes up 70–80 % of the photo height.
    • The eyes sit at 55–70 % from the bottom of the photo.
    • Background: plain light.
    • Glasses are fine if the lenses are clear and free of glare.
    • Head coverings only for religious reasons, with the whole face visible.
    • Neutral expression, mouth closed.
    • The authority publishes no numbers of its own — the rules come from the ICAO document photo baseline.

  2. What we don't check

    • When the picture was taken. We read the date from the file if it survived, but re-saving wipes it — and many authorities ask for a recent photo.
    • Whether the picture was edited. Retouching, filters and AI changes cannot be proved from a file.
    • Whether you have sent this picture before. Some authorities reject a photo that was already used in an earlier application.
    • How the photo will be printed. Paper, trimming and print quality cannot be judged from a file.
    • The route you apply through. Some countries want a code from an approved photographer, or take the picture at the office themselves.

Can I smile in the Egypt Residence permit photo?

No: the expression is neutral, the mouth closed, the eyes looking straight into the camera.

Can I wear a head covering in the Egypt Residence permit photo?

Only for religious reasons — and the whole face must stay visible, from chin to forehead, without shadows.

Which rules is the Egypt Residence permit photo checked against?

The authority publishes no numbers of its own for this document, so the check follows the ICAO document photo baseline — the basis of passport photo rules in most countries. «Why» on every row shows the quote and the link.

Can I print the Egypt Residence permit photo at home?

Yes: «Print on a 10 × 15 sheet» lays out your Egypt Residence permit photo (40 × 60 mm) on a standard sheet — print it at a photo shop or on a home printer; the size on the sheet is exact.

Is the check free? Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

Free, no sign-up. The check and the fix run right in your browser — the photo never leaves your device; it goes to a server only if you choose the AI yourself.
