What these millimetres work out to
- In a 50 × 60 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 42–48 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 60 mm of height that leaves 12–18 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 496–567 pixels tall — below 496 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.43 times as wide, 1.33 times as tall and 1.90 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.
How to crop it, in three steps
- 01
Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- 02
The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%
- 03
Save the 50 × 60 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
Do not confuse it with another Moldova document
Moldova does not use one frame for everything. This page is about work permit — 50 × 60 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

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 50 × 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 591 × 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
Moldova-specific things to know
- Moldova names the work-right photograph as 50 × 60 mm on white — larger than the ICAO 35 × 45 mm — and the employer, not the worker, files it with the National Agency for Employment.
- The residence-permit lists ask for three photographs of «5x6» (written with the unit mm in one place), a different count and size than the work-right list.

What the source confirms
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova, «Residence and work permits»: foreign citizens and stateless persons who want to work in Moldova must obtain a work permit from the National Agency for Employment of the Ministry of Economy; the employer or its legal representative submits the documents to grant the right to work.
- Same page, the right to work, the documents: the demarche of the company to the Agency; the questionnaire-application of the immigrant worker; a copy of the favourable opinion of the Agency; copies of constituent documents and of the documents confirming the activity of the company; the individual employment contract in the original; the national identity card of the foreign citizen with the border-crossing marks and its copy; a copy of the study document or other qualification document, translated into Moldovan and legalised or apostilled; the standard medical certificate and the certificate of the absence of HIV/AIDS; the document confirming rental space; a colour photograph, 50 × 60 mm, on a white background; the criminal record from the country of origin, translated and legalised or apostilled.
- Same page, the extension of the right to work (the employer): the demarche, the copy of the temporary residence permit for employment, the company documents, the individual employment contract, the identity card, the study document, the medical certificates and the document confirming rental space — a photograph is not in this list.
- Same page, the right to stay longer than 90 days: submitted to the Bureau for Migration and Asylum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Boulevard Stefan cel Mare 124, Chisinau) with the medical certificate and the HIV/AIDS test, the passport copy with the valid visa, the opinion of the Agency and the employment contract for those who come to work, the notarised consent of the person providing housing, the study document, «3 photos, 5x6 mm» and the state fee receipt; then the certificate of immigration and the residence permit at the Ministry of Information Development — the residence permit for employment again lists «3 photos 5x6».
