Korea's photo rules

A Korean passport photo is 3.5 × 4.5 cm on a uniform white background, with the head 3.2 to 3.6 cm from the top of the skull, not counting hair, to the chin. For an online renewal the file must be a JPG of up to 500 KB, about 413 × 531 pixels. The passport office's own tool resizes and moves photos, but a photo whose background was removed, or a person placed on a white background, can't be submitted.

A Korea visa uses the same 3.5 × 4.5 cm size on a plain white or off-white background, with the face 2.5 to 3.5 cm long. A residence card for foreign residents uses 2.5 to 3.5 cm as well, and the immigration service says the photo must not be edited with Photoshop or similar software.

The card frames the photo in your browser. We can't promise acceptance.
