What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background.
- 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.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Bulgaria-specific things to know
- The background is «light-colored», not strictly white, and the photograph must be professional: a photo cut out of an amateur picture is ineligible.
- The same size is asked for a child entered in a parent's passport, and dark glasses are named as a reason for refusing the photo.
- No age limit and no file size are stated on the MFA page; if you apply through a visa centre or embassy, follow its own list as well.

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria, visa page, documents with the visa application: a photocopy of the first page of the foreign travel document; a photocopy of the last Bulgarian and Schengen visas or visas for the UK and the US, if any; «A full color photograph 3,5 cm х 4,5 cm against light-colored background (the same holds for a child entered in the passport) – a full-face photo with clear, large enough face which takes up 70-80% of the photo».
- Same page, ineligible photos: «photos with dark glasses; non-professional photos or cut out of amateur photos». The list continues with a medical insurance valid for the EU member states for the whole stay (not less than 30 thousand euro), tickets or a booking confirmation or financial means, and for under-age children travelling without parents a birth certificate copy and a notary-certified power of attorney.
