Official immigration requirements
Vietnamese passports are issued by the Immigration Department (Cục Quản lý xuất nhập cảnh) under the Ministry of Public Security. The photo is 4 × 6 cm on a plain white background with no texture or pattern, and only color photos are accepted.
You should keep your head straight and look directly at the camera with relaxed shoulders, a neutral expression and the mouth closed — smiling is discouraged. The head must be bare, eyes open and visible, with no dark or tinted glasses, though clear prescription lenses may be accepted. Formal, collared clothing is expected, and you should avoid white clothing that blends into the background. Photos must be recent, taken within the last six months.

Getting the digital size right
For a printed 4 × 6 cm photo, export at 472 × 709 pixels and 300 DPI. Online applications accept .jpg, .jpeg or .gif files, generally under 2 MB, so keep the file within that limit while preserving the 4 × 6 cm ratio.
Our maker crops to the Vietnamese 4 × 6 cm ratio and sets a clean white background right in the browser. Your photo is processed on your device and never uploaded, keeping your identity image private.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Vietnamese passport photo?
It is 4 × 6 cm (40 × 60 mm), which at 300 DPI is 472 × 709 pixels. This is larger than the 35 × 45 mm European format, so use the correct crop.
Can I wear white clothing in a Vietnam passport photo?
It is discouraged. White clothing can blend into the plain white background. Wear a formal, collared shirt in a contrasting color instead.
Are glasses allowed in a Vietnamese passport photo?
Dark or tinted glasses are not allowed. Clear prescription lenses may be accepted if there is no glare and your eyes are fully visible, but many applicants remove them to be safe.
