Vietnam passport photo size differs between sources — some cite 4×6cm, others cite a 2×2in square, which are different shapes, not a rounding difference. Rather than picking one, this page doesn't assert a specific size figure — check with the Vietnam Immigration Department for the current requirement. A 1MB maximum digital file size at 300 DPI is separately, consistently cited.

Digital photo requirements
No official digital pixel specification was found for this document — see printed requirements below.
Printed photo requirements
A physical-sized photo is understood to be required, but sources differ on the exact size: some cite 4×6cm (a 2:3-ratio rectangle), others cite 2×2in (a square) — genuinely different aspect ratios, not a rounding difference, so no single size is presented here (widthMm/heightMm are left unset). A maximum digital file size of 1MB at 300 DPI is separately, consistently cited.
Other requirements
Head / face position
Full face, centered, looking directly at the camera
Background
Not specified in the sources found — use a plain, evenly lit background as a safe default.
Expression
Neutral expression, eyes open and clearly visible.

How Vekyo works for a Vietnam passport
Upload a recent photo, and Vekyo detects your face, then checks it against the Vietnam passport specification above — including its not specified in the sources found — use a plain, evenly lit background as a safe default. background requirement — before letting you crop and position it to match. Face detection, quality checks, cropping, and resizing run in your browser by default. Vekyo never changes your facial features, skin tone, or facial structure, and never generates or beautifies a face. If your background doesn't look plain and evenly lit enough for this document, you'll see a warning rather than a silent pass, and you can choose the optional background tool to replace it with a plain color — nothing is replaced unless you ask. The optional high-quality background removal option sends the cropped photo to our server for that one step.
Frequently asked questions
Vekyo prepares your Vietnam passport photo at See requirements, based on the published specification linked on this page — you don't need to measure or crop it yourself.
Not specified in the sources found — use a plain, evenly lit background as a safe default. Vekyo's compliance check flags a background that looks patterned, shadowed, or uneven before you pay, so you can retake the photo if needed.
This page's specification comes from Vietnam's Immigration Department (evisa.gov.vn), the same authority that issues Vietnam's e-Visa — but the figures found here are documented for the passport photo, and sources already disagree on that size (4×6cm vs 2×2in). We haven't independently confirmed whether the e-Visa photo requirement matches this passport figure, so check the current specification on the e-Visa application portal before submitting.
Yes. A recent phone photo works well as long as it is a clear, front-facing shot in good, even lighting against a plain background. Vekyo crops and resizes it to the required dimensions in your browser.
Yes. Vekyo lets you prepare a photo that matches the Vietnam passport photo specification from an existing picture, without visiting a photo studio. You still need to check your final photo, and print it, according to your application's instructions.
No. Vekyo crops, resizes, and repositions your existing photo to match the required dimensions, and can optionally replace the background or adjust lighting when you choose. It never alters your facial features, skin tone, or facial structure, and never generates or beautifies a face.
Not by default. Face detection, cropping, resizing, and file generation happen locally in your browser. If you choose the optional high-quality background removal service, the cropped image is securely sent to our server for that processing step only; the standard option stays entirely on your device. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
No. You get a free preview of your finished photo — including its compliance score and checklist — before paying anything. Payment only unlocks the full-resolution, watermark-free download and the printable sheet.
Your compliance checklist shows exactly which checks passed, which need attention, and which failed, with a plain-language explanation for each. From there you can use Auto-Fix to automatically correct issues like cropping, brightness, or sharpness, adjust the crop yourself, or upload or retake a different photo — you can keep adjusting until it looks right, all before you pay. A mistake we see often for a Vietnam passport: assuming a single physical size — sources differ between 4×6cm and 2×2in for this document.
