Recommendation: Double-check all documents to ensure they meet the specific requirements of the Slovak consulate.

Your passport photo must meet specific Slovakia Schengen visa photo requirements:

• Photo size: 35 mm x 45 mm (width x height).

• Head size: The head should occupy 70-80% of the photo, approximately 32-36 mm from chin to crown.

• Colour: The photo must be in colour and have a plain white or light grey background.

• Face position: The applicant’s face must be centred and looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression.

• Eyes: Eyes should be open and clearly visible, without any reflections or obstructions.

• Glasses: If you wear glasses, make sure the lenses are free of glare or reflections, and your eyes are clearly visible. Avoid wearing tinted glasses.

• Headwear: Headwear is not allowed unless it is for religious reasons. In such cases, the face must be fully visible from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead, and the edges of the face must be visible.

Tip: Ensure that your photo meets all these requirements to avoid delays or rejection of your visa application. It’s recommended that your photo be taken by a professional photographer familiar with Schengen visa requirements.
