Dear Travel Partners :-

It has been observed that the Singapore High Commission has increasingly become more strict in enforcing the existing photo specifications while granting of Visa, resulting in the rejections of visas in large numbers.


We would request you kindly send us the photos with specifications as mentioned below:-

1.) 2-coloured recent white background passport sized photographs (35 mm width x 45 mm height) without border, taken within the last three months.

2.) The facial image should be between 25 mm and 35 mm from chin to crown, taken against a plain white background with matt or semi -matt finish.

3.) Full face should come in the photographs without any headgears. Photographs with headgears would be accepted only if the applicant habitually wears a headgear in accordance with his her religious or racial custom but the headgear must not hide the applicant's features.

1.) Blur/ Scan/ Crop
