Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Saudi Arabia passport photo?
Saudi Arabia passport photos are 40x60mm (4x6 cm). This is different from US passport photos which are 2x2 inches (51x51mm). For digital submissions like eVisa, the photo should be 200x200 pixels.
Can I wear glasses in my Saudi passport photo?
No. You must remove eyeglasses for your Saudi passport photo unless you have documented medical reasons requiring them. If you must wear glasses, ensure there is no glare on the lenses and your eyes are fully visible.
Can I wear a hijab or religious head covering?
Yes, religious head coverings such as hijab, headscarf, or yarmulke are permitted. However, your face must be fully visible from the tip of your chin to your forehead, and both ears and cheeks should be clearly shown.
What is the background color requirement?
The background must be plain white with no patterns or shadows. For physical passport applications at some offices, light gray may also be accepted, but white is universally safe.
Can I smile in my Saudi passport photo?
No. You must maintain a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed. Smiling or any exaggerated expressions are not permitted as they may interfere with facial recognition systems.
How recent must my passport photo be?
Your photo must be taken within the last 6 months to ensure it reflects your current appearance. Using an older photo will result in rejection.
