Georgia permanent residence permit photos are administered by the Public Service Development Agency (PSDA). The same PSDA page that covers temporary permits asks for a colour photo of 3 × 4 cm (30 × 40 mm) in electronic form for permanent residence too, against a plain background.
Permanent residence (მუდმივი ბინადრობის უფლება) is generally available after 6 years of temporary residence; spouses of Georgian citizens may apply after 6 years of marriage. Same biometric capture workflow at PSDA Public Service Halls.

How to take it
Background: plain light
The tool puts in the required background. Stand half a metre from a plain light wall, face a window and shoot without flash — then there are no shadows on your face or on the wall.
Size: 30 × 40 mm
Camera at eye level, about a metre away; head and shoulders in the shot. The tool crops it to the required size.
Clear lenses only, no glare
If you wear glasses, check the shot: no glare on the lenses, eyes clearly visible.
Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open
Look straight into the lens with your head level; keep hair away from your eyes and eyebrows.
An ordinary selfie will do: we fix the background, light and framing ourselves — to this document's rules. The preview is free.
Head straightHold the phone at eye level and your head straightens by itself.
Face uncoveredMove your hair away so your eyes and eyebrows show.
No glare on glassesStand so that no light reflects in the lenses.Printing and submission

Questions
The Georgia permanent residence permit photo must be 30 × 40 mm.
Usually no older than six months; some immigration offices ask for a more recent one. Take a new photo that looks like you on the day you apply.
Plain light background without textures, shadows, or foreign objects. A plain, evenly lit wall without shadows or pattern is enough — the tool sets the required background colour.
Only if the size and rules are the same and the photo is still recent. Otherwise take a new one: the same selfie can be turned into photos for both documents.
Take a new photo: it should show how you look now — hairstyle, beard, glasses.
