How to take your UK visa photo
Use these quick examples to prepare a clear visa photo at home.
01
Keep the right distance
Hold your phone about 40 cm from your face. That is roughly an arm’s length away.
02
Face the camera
Keep your head level and look directly into the camera. Avoid turning or tilting your face.
03
Use even lighting
Choose bright, even light so your full face is visible without harsh shadows.
