What are the photo requirements for a Sri Lanka visa application?

To complete the visa application process, travelers are required to submit some of the required documents, including a passport and a recent photograph of themselves. For a smooth application, the photograph must follow some specific requirements, such as:

Photo size

• The photograph can be of any size and format. However, visa applicants must ensure this photo was taken within the last six months.

Quality and Resolution

• The color rendition should be true to life, accurately reflecting your skin tone.

• Avoid any underexposure or overexposure, as these may lead to a photograph that is either excessively dark or excessively bright.

Background

• The background should be either white or off-white, free from patterns or textures.

• There should be no other objects, shadows, or spots in the background.

Facial Expressions

• You should maintain a neutral and composed expression with your mouth closed, eyes open, and facing directly toward the camera.

• Avoid any exaggerated expressions, smiles, or frowns.

Attire and Accessories

• You can choose casual attire that does not resemble a uniform.

• Religious or cultural headwear is acceptable but should not obstruct facial features.

• Non-tinted glasses without glare are permissible as long as the photo ensures clear visibility of the applicant's eyes.

If your photograph meets the above requirements, you can send it and other necessary documents via our email address so that we can process your Sri Lanka visa application quickly.
