This page uses official public guidance from Visa and Migration Portal of Kazakhstan. Some biometric values remain generalized where the public source does not publish every numeric detail.

Official Kazakhstan visa guidance was verified on 2026-04-13. Kazakhstan's Visa and Migration Portal is the official visa filing route and requires a digital photo upload for visa applications. The detailed 35 × 45 mm / 413 × 531 px biometric matrix is taken from Kazakhstan's official identity-document photo guidance, so this visa profile remains official-general rather than official-exact.

How to take this photo correctly

  • If applicant photos are required, prepare them in 35 × 45 mm.
  • Consular or non-biometric routes can still keep print-photo requirements even when domestic biometric issuance uses live capture.
  • Use the source links on this page to match the exact route before upload or printing.

Common reasons this photo gets rejected

  • The chosen filing route may use live capture instead of applicant photos, or vice versa.
  • The background does not match the rule: Plain white or light grey background.
  • The head is tilted, too close to the edge or cropped too tightly.
  • Glasses, glare, hair or shadows make the eyes hard to see.
  • The facial expression does not match the rule: Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open.

What is still inferred or not fully published

  • The official visa portal confirms the digital-photo visa filing route; the detailed biometric matrix is sourced from Kazakhstan general identity-document photo guidance.
