  3. 03

    Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: even plain background without shadows.
  • 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.

Where these numbers come from

Source: Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale. Last checked against the official page on 25 Sep 2026.

What the source confirms

  • Embassy of Italy in Minsk, document list for a type D family-reunification visa (January 2026): «Formulario di domanda visto del tipo “D” compilato e firmato + 1 foto recente formato ICAO (35x45 mm) incollata sul modulo di domanda» — one recent ICAO-format 35 x 45 mm photo glued to the application form.
  • The list names only the size and the ICAO format; the ICAO proportions are published by the MAECI «Linee guida foto ICAO»: the face covering 70-80 % of the photo from the base of the chin, white evenly lit background, no older than 6 months, colour, neutral expression with the mouth closed, glasses only with clearly visible eyes and no reflections, head coverings only for religious reasons.
  • No source publishes pixel or file-size limits — the photo is glued to the paper form.
