Crop a photo to 40 × 60 mm — Thailand visa
Upload a photo — the frame is already set for a Thailand visa. Ready to print or upload.
Upload your photo
The document is already selected — the frame is locked to 40 × 60 mm. Drag the photo inside the frame; the shape cannot be broken.
The photo is cropped in your browser. It is not uploaded to a server and we do not store it.
How to crop it, in three steps
- Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- Move the photo until the eyes sit on the guide line and the head fills 70–80%
- Save the 40 × 60 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

Do not confuse it with another Thailand document
Thailand does not use one frame for everything. This page is about visa — 40 × 60 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.
- driver's license 30 × 40 mm
- work permit 30 × 40 mm
What cropping will not fix
- A wrong background — cropping does not repaint the wall behind you. This document needs: plain white
- A shadow on the face or on the wall. Step 1–2 m away from the wall and shoot facing a window.
- Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
- 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 472 × 709 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| Wrong size (35×45 brought to VOA, or 40×60 brought to embassy) | Match size to route — embassy 35×45, VOA 40×60 |
| Chin to top-of-hair distance not 34.5mm | Precise Thai standard — re-crop |
| Top-of-hair to top-of-photo distance not 3mm | Tighter headroom than typical ICAO |
| Photo older than 6 months | Re-shoot |
| Background not plain | Plain uniform white/light grey/light blue |
Thailand-specific things to know
- TWO sizes depending on route: 35×45 embassy, 40×60 Visa on Arrival
- Precise 34.5mm chin-hair distance (published to 0.1mm)
- 3mm above-hair distance — tighter than ICAO
- White/light-grey/light-blue background all accepted
