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.
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
Luxembourg-specific things to know
- The government portal names no size, colour or age — only «recent and identical». The extra details (colour, white background, a maximum of 3 months) appear on the lists of the visa centres in Morocco and Tunisia.
- The number differs by centre: two photos on the Morocco list, a single photo on the Tunisia list, while Guichet.lu says two.
- The photograph is scanned from a paper print at the counter, so bring a printed photograph; first-time applicants also give fingerprints in person.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

What the source confirms
- Guichet.lu, entry visa for third-country nationals: «The application must be accompanied by the following documents: 2 recent and identical identity photos; a valid passport or a travel document accepted in the Schengen area, which is valid for at least 3 months after the expiry date of the requested visa; supporting documents associated with the purpose of the journey…»
- Guichet.lu, where to apply: with the Luxembourg diplomatic mission or consulate in the country of residence or, failing that, with the embassy or consulate of the Schengen state that represents Luxembourg for the issuing of visas.
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Luxembourg, VIS information: collecting the personal data, including photographs and fingerprints, is compulsory — without them the application is declared inadmissible; first-time applicants must appear in person to give their photograph and fingerprints; «La photographie est actuellement scannée à partir d'une photographie papier existante» (the photograph is currently scanned from an existing paper photograph), to be digitised at the application later.
- TLScontact, Luxembourg short-stay list for Morocco: the Schengen form completed, dated and signed, «+2 photos d'identité couleur avec fond blanc récentes» (2 recent colour identity photos with a white background); list for Tunisia (tourist or family stay): «Une seule photo d'identité couleur avec fond blanc récente (max 3 mois)» (a single recent colour identity photo with a white background, 3 months at most), with the form filled in on Visa-On-Web.
