Myanmar Passport Photo (ICAO 35 x 45 mm reference; no readable national rule): size and requirements
The Myanmar Passport Photo size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 x 1.77 inches). Not stated by any readable Myanmar source; white is our rendering choice; head 70 to 80 percent of the photo height. Photo taken within the last 6 months. Last verified 2026-10-10 against Ministry of Immigration and Population (Myanmar) passport portal (unreachable on 2026-10-10), with ICAO Doc 9303.
For the passport of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar issued by the Ministry of Immigration and Population's passport offices. No national photo rule could be read (see note), so this spec is the ICAO Doc 9303 reference frame only; confirm with the passport office before buying any photo. Not for the eVisa, the NRC card or a Myanmar driving licence.
Check with the passport office or embassy before buying: we could not read Myanmar's photo rule, so treat our 35 x 45 mm ICAO print as a best guess, not an official format. See the Myanmar documents we can prepare.

What trips people up
- CheckNo national rule could be read: www.passport.gov.mm aborted every connection and www.moip.gov.mm did not resolve on 2026-10-10; the eVisa portal covers visitors only. Everything here is the ICAO Doc 9303 reference frame (35 x 45 mm, head 70 to 80 per cent, taken within six months), flagged as such.
- CheckAsk before you print: Myanmar passport offices are widely reported to photograph applicants on site, but we could not read that from an official page, so we do not assert it.
- CheckMyanmar citizens abroad apply through embassies, which publish their own photo instructions; use theirs.
- CheckIf the passport office or embassy hands you a size or count, use theirs; our frame is a default, not an official format.
