About this photo

The Brazilian Visa photo accepted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil (Embassy in Dublin) is a 35 by 45 mm portrait. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. Your head, chin to crown, should measure 31.5 to 36.0 mm on the print. This one is still a paper process, which means printed photos and no online upload. Recent, with a white background. Behind you: plain white, lit evenly so no shadow falls on the face or the wall. Upload your picture and we size it for the Brazilian Visa, replace the background and verify the proportions before checkout.
