Vietnam photo requirements

Vietnam photo requirements are set by Cục Quản lý xuất nhập cảnh, Bộ Công an (Immigration Department, Ministry of Public Security). We publish 1 document: 1 passport. The most common print size is 40 x 60 mm (1.57 in x 2.36 in). 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).

We are an independent service, not a government website. Applying for a passport or visa is done with your government; we only prepare the photo.
