- 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 20 × 30 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

Do not confuse it with another Vietnam document
Vietnam does not use one frame for everything. This page is about temporary residence card — 20 × 30 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.
- passport 51 × 51 mm
- id card (cccd) 40 × 60 mm
- visa 40 × 60 mm
- work permit 40 × 60 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 236 × 354 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
