03What we fix
What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
04Rejections
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
ReasonFix
Size other than 35 × 45 mm (4.5 × 3.5 cm)→Print 35 mm wide by 45 mm high, the size the embassies write.
Background not white→Use a plain white background, evenly lit, with no shadows.
Glasses on the photo (other than prescription or medically required)→Take glasses off unless they are prescription or medically required, and keep the eyes fully visible.
Photo not recent, not frontal, retouched, or copies from different sets→Use one recent, unaltered, frontal photo and print all copies from that same file.
Photo stapled to the form, or the photo box left empty→Glue the photo in the box on the form (each form, where two are required); no staples.
05Good to know
Algeria-specific things to know
- The number of photos is not the same everywhere: two loose photos at the ministry, Washington, New Delhi and Nantes; one glued on the form at The Hague and (for business and work visas) Alicante; one on each of the two forms at London, Canberra, Kuala Lumpur and Ankara. Take four identical prints so that any of these works.
- White is the background wherever a colour is named (Oslo, New Delhi, Washington), so a plain white background is the right one; light grey is not named on any of these pages.
- Glasses: none, except prescription eyewear (Oslo) or where medically required (New Delhi). The photo is frontal, recent and unaltered, and the copies come from the same set.
- Paste the photo with glue, never staples (The Hague), and write your first and last name in pencil on the back (London, Oslo). Incomplete forms, including the photo box, are rejected (Canberra, Abu Dhabi).

What the source confirms
- Algeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs: the visa application forms, downloadable from the sites of the diplomatic and consular posts, are filled in duplicate and accompanied by a passport valid at least six months, its photocopy, «two recent and identical identity photos» and a travel insurance / repatriation-assistance certificate, and are lodged at the embassy or consulate of the applicant's usual place of residence.
- Embassy in The Hague (family visa): «one recent identity photo (35 millimetres wide by 45 millimetres high) glued on the form (no staples)»; the form is filled in electronically only, not by hand, printed, dated and signed. Embassy in Ankara: the forms are filled in online and printed, with pictures of 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm attached as indicated on the form; unprinted or unclear forms are rejected.
- Embassy in Oslo: photos must be recent, frontal view, of the same set, taken on a white background, with the applicant wearing no glasses of any kind except prescription eyewear; first and last name written in pencil on the back. Embassy in New Delhi: two recent passport-sized photographs, white background, identical, unaltered, and without glasses unless medically required. Embassy in Washington: two passport pictures with white background.
