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.
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
Turkey-specific things to know
- The size depends on the mission: 50 × 60 mm at Los Angeles and Karachi (2 × 2 inches also accepted at Los Angeles), 5 × 5 cm at Sydney, Islamabad and Dushanbe. Check your mission before printing.
- The white background is common to every mission read — plain, patternless white — which is stricter than the light-coloured background of many Schengen visas.
- Glasses, earrings and hats are not to be worn at Los Angeles, and nothing may prevent the face from being seen; the same rules apply to babies and children.
- Missions ask for two prints; London takes one photo online plus a copy at the interview. A pre-application is made on visa.gov.tr and the application is submitted at the mission or its application centre.
Printing on a single sheet
2 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 4 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

What the source confirms
- Consulate General in Los Angeles (guidelines of 4 Sep 2024): the biometric photo must be 50 mm × 60 mm, and the 2 × 2 inch size common in the USA is also acceptable; it must be not older than 6 months; the same rules apply to children and babies.
- Same page, appearance: the whole face visible and hair not covering it; sharpness and contrast correctly adjusted; head not tilted or turned, neutral expression with closed lips; lighting neither too bright nor too dark; eyes completely on the camera and not closed; no glasses, earrings or hats, and no clothing or accessories that prevent the face from being seen.
- Same page, background and print: a patternless WHITE background; the photo taken with a high-quality camera and printed on quality paper; a damaged, wrinkled or creased photo is not accepted.
- Other Turkish missions: Karachi — biometric photo, white background, 50 mm × 60 mm; Sydney — 2 passport photos, 5 × 5 cm, white background only; Islamabad — two recent colour biometric photographs, white background, 5 × 5 cm; Dushanbe — 2 biometric photographs taken within the last 6 months, 5 × 5 cm, white background, to ICAO standards.
- Consulate General in London: one passport-size biometric photo taken within the last six months is uploaded online, and another copy of the same photo is handed in at the visa interview.
