About this photo

Applying through the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)? The Singapore Permanent Residence Application photo it wants measures 35 by 45 mm. Neutral expression, eyes open, mouth closed, looking straight at the camera. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. The upload for Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) online application needs to be at least 400 by 514 pixels, as a JPEG, no larger than 8 MB. A white background is accepted, as long as it is uniform and without pattern. Frame it so the head takes 32 to 36 mm of the 45 mm height. Upload your picture and we size it for the Singapore Permanent Residence Application, replace the background and verify the proportions before checkout.
