What these millimetres work out to
- In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 31.5–36 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 9–13.5 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 372–425 pixels tall — below 372 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background.
- 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.
Glasses in the frame. This document does not accept them at all — take them off and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Madagascar-specific things to know
- Madagascar describes the long-stay visa photograph in words — straight and clear, forehead uncovered, white background, no glasses or head covering — and gives no millimetres on that page.
- The embassy visa is only the first step for a stay over 90 days: a 30-day visa that is then converted by the Ministry of the Interior in Antananarivo.

Where these numbers come from
Source: Embassy of Madagascar in Switzerland (Geneva) — Malagasy Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.
What the source confirms
- Embassy of Madagascar in Switzerland (Geneva), «Visa pour immigration (plus de 90 jours)»: documents to gather, e.g. for a salaried worker — a passport valid for more than 12 months, the completed form, 2 recent colour identity photos (straight and clear, forehead uncovered, on a white background, without glasses or head covering), a criminal record under 3 months old, a work permit and a work contract endorsed by the Ministry of Labour, a recent trade-register extract, and the accommodation documents; the same photo wording is repeated for volunteers, long-term trainees, investors, students, researchers and retirees.
- Same page, the procedure: the embassy issues a visa of 30 days (convertible and renewable); during these 30 days the person applies for a long-stay visa matching the object of the immigration at the Ministry of the Interior in Antananarivo, which alone issues and renews long-stay visas; a visa for an immigrant stay of more than 90 days cannot be issued at the airport or on the spot; the visa fee on the page is 40 CHF, and a prepaid registered envelope is added for applicants living in Switzerland.
- Embassy of Madagascar in Brussels, «Visas spéciaux»: for diplomatic agents, officials of international organisations with diplomatic rank and courtesy visas the documents include «two (02) identity photos of format 3.5x4.5», a note verbale, a diplomatic passport valid for more than six months and a flight plan or booking certificate.
