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.

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 shadows or foreign objects.
- 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
Lithuania-specific things to know
- Lithuania gives the width as «35–40mm» rather than a fixed 35 × 45 mm, and does not name a number of photographs.
- The guidelines ask for a «colour neutral» photograph — natural skin tones, uniform lighting, no flash reflections — and a «plain light-coloured background» rather than a white one.
- The guidelines illustrate each fault with a picture — too close, too far away, blurred, ink marked or creased, looking away, too dark, too light, washed out colour, pixelated, hair across the eyes, eyes closed, portrait style, tilted, busy background, not centred, shadows, red eye.

- Same annex, glasses, head covers and frame: with glasses the photograph must show the eyes clearly with no flash reflection off the glasses and no tinted lenses (heavy frames are to be avoided) and the frames must not cover any part of the eyes; head coverings are not permitted except for religious reasons, but the facial features from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead and both edges of the face must be clearly shown; the photographs must show the applicant alone (no chair backs, toys or other people), looking at the camera with a neutral expression and the mouth closed.
