Taiwan photo requirements

Taiwan photo requirements are set by Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of China (boca.gov.tw). We publish 1 document: 1 passport. The most common print size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 in x 1.77 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 2026-10-10).
