About this photo

For a Russian e-Visa photo, the Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia sets the print size at 35 x 45 mm. The upload for Russian unified e-visa (evisa.kdmid.ru) needs to be as a JPEG. Your head, chin to crown, should measure 31.5 to 36.0 mm on the print. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. Behind you: plain white or light grey, lit evenly so no shadow falls on the face or the wall. No more than 6 months old, showing your current appearance. Send us any clear picture and you get a Russian e-Visa photo at these measurements, background included, checked before checkout.
