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.

02The document

What this document is

Montenegrin visas are issued under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the application is made in person at a Montenegrin mission. In India, Bangladesh, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Türkiye, the UAE and Russia it can also go through VFS Global centres, and where Montenegro has no mission, through Serbia or Bulgaria. A decision takes 10 days, and from 1 November 2026 a visa is also required for citizens of Belarus, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye.

04What we fix

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.

Montenegro-specific things to know

  • Montenegro asks for «one color photo» of 35 × 45 mm — the ICAO format — in every visa list, and says nothing about the background, head size or glasses.
  • The application is in person at a diplomatic or consular mission; a foreigner may be excused from applying personally only in justified cases.
