What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white 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
Burkina Faso-specific things to know
- Burkina Faso says the photo is «4.5 by 3.5 cm» — written with the height first — and that a photocopy or a scanned photo is not accepted: it must be a real print.
- The list also asks for a copy of the vaccination booklet and proof of the journey; ordinary-passport applications are now made online.

What the source confirms
- Consulate General of Burkina Faso in Paris, «Visa» (Internet Archive copy of 30 June 2026): the visa is an express authorisation granted by a consulate abroad to a foreigner so that they can enter Burkina Faso and stay legally for the time allowed; it takes for the moment the form of a wet stamp or a sticker (stamp) on the passport.
- Same page, the documents: a passport valid for more than six months after the end of the stay; a photocopy of the applicant's passport; a form filled in completely, dated and signed; one identity photo, format 4.5 by 3.5 cm, on a white background (no photocopy and no scanned photo); proof of the journey (a copy of the air ticket plus a mission order, a certificate of sponsorship, a work or accommodation certificate, a hotel reservation or a verbal note); a copy of the vaccination booklet.
- Same page, the channels: applications for visas on ordinary passports can now be submitted by the users themselves online on visaburkina.bf, which also lets them pay the visa fee through a secure electronic wallet; applications for visas on diplomatic and service passports and UN laissez-passer are handled by the Embassy of Burkina Faso.
