What a Australia Visa photo has to be
Every figure below is quoted from the issuing authority, and the source is linked at the bottom of this section. Where the official sources do not agree, we say so instead of picking one.

|---|---|
| Head height | Not published officially: we verify it against your consulate at the session. |
| Eye position | Not published officially: we verify it against your consulate at the session. |
| Background | Neutral or light GREY that contrasts with your face: Australia is one of the few countries that does not want white. |
| Glasses | Should be removed unless medically necessary. If worn: untinted, frames must not obscure the eyes, lenses must have no reflections. |

| How recent | No more than 6 months old |
| Digital file | JPEG between 70 KB and 3.5 MB. Preferred resolution 1200 x 1600 px: a 3:4 portrait ratio, not square and not 35x45. |

The things that actually fail
Not general advice, just the specific traps in this document’s own rules.
- A scan of a photo, or a photograph of a photograph, is an outright rejection. You cannot shoot your printed 2x2 with a phone.
- The grey background trips up anyone reusing a US passport photo, which is shot on white.
- No editing at all: removing blemishes, wrinkles, scars or red eye invalidates it.
- Religious head coverings are allowed if the whole face is visible and the covering is plain, unpatterned material.
