Azerbaijan Visa photo requirements
Azerbaijan visa applications at an embassy or consulate need two biometric photos, 3 x 4 cm (30 x 40 mm), in colour on a plain white, non-reflective background, taken within the last 6 months, full face with a neutral expression. The online ASAN e-Visa asks for a passport scan, not a photo.

How to take your Azerbaijan Visa photo
- Stand about 50 cm in front of a plain white, non-reflective wall, with nothing else in the background.
- Use soft, even light from the front (a window in daylight works well). Avoid shadows on your face and behind you.
- Have someone else take the photo from 1–2 m away with the camera at eye level. Avoid arm-length selfies.
- Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, mouth closed and both eyes open.
- Remove glasses, hats and headphones unless the rules allow them (religious or medical exceptions vary).
- Leave space above your head and below your shoulders so the tool can crop to the exact size.
