About this photo

The Ministry of Interior / NADRA (Pakistan Online Visa System) asks for a Pakistan Visa photo of 35 by 45 mm. You can take it at home on a phone: have someone stand a couple of metres away at eye level rather than holding the phone yourself. A white background is accepted, as long as it is uniform and without pattern. No shadows or red eye. Your head should fill 70 to 80 percent of the frame height. The upload for visa.nadra.gov.pk needs to be at least 350 by 467 pixels, as a JPEG, no larger than 350 KB. We crop your picture to the Pakistan Visa format, set the background and check the head size before you pay.
