Saudi Arabia photo requirements

Saudi Arabia photo requirements are set by Ministry of Foreign Affairs (visas) / Ministry of Interior, Jawazat (passports). We publish 1 document: 1 visa. The most common print size is 51 x 51 mm (2 in x 2 in); 1 document accepts a digital upload. Each page quotes the official rule for size, head height, background and file, links the source we read, and shows the date we last checked it (most recently 2026-10-08).
