Do not confuse it with another Greece document

Greece does not use one frame for everything. This page is about visa — 35 × 45 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

04What 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.

05Rejections

Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one

ReasonFix
A photo older than 6 months, or a side pose, hat or veilTake a new front-facing photograph within 6 months, head uncovered.
A background that is not white, shadings or light reflection on the faceUse a white background with even light and no reflections.
Sunglasses or coloured lenses, or hair covering the eyes, eyebrows or faceTake the glasses off and keep the hair away from the face.
A face smaller than 70 % of the photo, an edited photo, or one stapled or glued to the formFill 70–80 % with the face, do not edit, and do not staple or glue it.
06Good to know

Greece-specific things to know

  • The number is the mission's own: one at Tokyo, three at Islamabad, one «recent photograph» at Vancouver. Only the Tokyo page gives the 70–80 % face share and a ban on stapling or gluing.
  • Coloured lenses and sunglasses are prohibited (Tokyo), and no hat, veil, side pose or Photoshop (Islamabad); the face must be clear from the jaw to the forehead and from ear to ear.
  • Where a mission says only «ICAO», the print is the usual 35 × 45 mm passport photo with a white background; the Greek pages never write millimetres.
