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 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.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.

- The Embassy in Ankara names the format — 35 × 45 mm on a white background, six months — while the Migration Agency says only «passport-sized», «taken straight from the front» and six months.

What the source confirms
- Swedish Migration Agency, «Visiting Sweden for up to 90 days (entry visa)»: for an entry visa for a visit to relatives or friends, a tourist visit, a business visit or medical treatment the applicant prepares a valid passport (valid at least three months after the entry visa's expiration, issued within the past ten years and with at least two blank pages), a completed Schengen visa application form and «A passport-sized photograph. This only applies if a representative applies for you. The photo must be taken straight from the front and cannot be more than six months old.»
- Same page, a representative: «If you have applied for an entry visa to Sweden or another Schengen country within the past five years and provided fingerprints when you did so, a representative can submit your application for you. To do so, your representative will need a power of attorney from you. They must attach a copy of the power of attorney to your application. The application must be submitted outside of Sweden.»; in some countries the application goes to a Swedish embassy or consulate-general and in a number of countries Sweden is represented by another Schengen country's embassy or consulate-general.
- Embassy of Sweden in Ankara, «Visa for visiting relatives or friends»: the documents to submit include «8. 1 photograph taken in the last six months, 35x45 mm in size with a white background (photo is not needed for applicants who apply in person)», photocopies of the passport (all pages with personal information, visas and entry/exit stamps), a passport valid at least three months after the date of return, issued within the last 10 years with at least 2 blank pages, travel health insurance with a minimum coverage of EUR 30 000 valid for all Schengen Member States, proof of means of subsistence (a bank statement of the last three months and proof of regular income) and, for non-Turkish nationals, a valid residence permit in Türkiye.
