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 40 × 60 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 472 × 709 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
Laos-specific things to know
- The two routes use two different sizes: 4 × 6 cm for the eVisa upload and 2 × 2 inches for the Washington embassy. A 35 × 45 mm passport photo fits neither.
- The eVisa photo is the unusual 4 × 6 cm portrait; the portal says it follows the ICAO standard, and a photo outside the criteria must be replaced before processing starts.
- The portal states no file format or size limit for the upload; keep the photo sharp and in a common format such as JPEG.
Printing on a single sheet
2 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 4 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

- Lao eVisa portal, FAQ 2.2 «What are the photo requirements for eVisa?»: sized 4 × 6 cm; in color; taken within the last 6 months; with no shadows; with a plain white background; face the camera; neutral expression; both eyes open.
- Same portal, Info page: to apply for the eVisa you upload a photograph of 4 × 6 cm (taken no longer than 6 months before) and the passport bio page including its MRZ (the two lines at the bottom); «The size of the photograph must be 4x6 cm, as per ICAO Standard photograph»; photos that do not meet the criteria delay the application and new ones must be provided.
- Same portal: the eVisa is valid for a single entry only, only an ordinary passport can be used, and processing is usually 3 working days after the application is submitted and the fee paid.
- Embassy of the Lao PDR in Washington, paper visa: one filled-out application form, «Two Photos 2″ x 2″ (Photos should not be over six months)», the original passport valid at least six months and a copy of its data page; by mail, a prepaid return envelope.
