Common Reasons Photos Get Rejected
Glasses
Wrong head size
Wrong background
Shadow on face
Shadow on background
Wrong photo size — Size requirements vary by embassy (45×45mm most common). Check with your local Japanese consulate before applying.
Non-white background — Only plain white backgrounds are accepted. Any patterns, colors, or shadows will cause rejection.
Shadows on face or background — Photo must be evenly lit with no shadows on your face or behind you.
Eyes obscured by glasses — If wearing prescription glasses, eyes must be clearly visible with no glare or reflections from lenses.
Photo too old — Must be taken within 6 months of application date and reflect your current appearance.
Red-eye effect — Photos with red-eye from flash are not accepted. Use natural lighting to avoid this.
Printing Your Photo
For mail-in applications, print your photo on 4×6 photo paper at any drugstore. Our download includes a print-ready template with multiple photos — you only need 2 for most applications.
Use glossy photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 45 × 45 mm (1.8" × 1.8").
