02The document

What this document is

A Schengen visa (type C) is a short-stay visa for trips within the Schengen area. Under the EU Visa Code, Regulation (EC) No 810/2009, it covers stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. A longer stay needs a national type D visa or a residence permit.

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.

06Good to know

Hungary-specific things to know

  • Hungary names the photograph in two forms — «size 35x45mm» (Pretoria) and «3.5 x 4.5 cm … on a white background» (Bishkek) — and in the Bishkek lists the same line is repeated for every purpose of the visit.
  • The photograph for a first-time applicant «can be scanned or taken at the same time as submitting the application», so it is registered at the embassy as well as handed in.
