VISA PHOTOS

Mexican passport photos are of a fairly simple nature. The main requirements are:

The picture should be submitted in 4 copies. While 3 is the official quantity required, the authorities are known to often ask for an additional one while the application is being processed and submitting an extra one will save time.
The photos should be of the standard size – 3.5cms X 4.5cms
They should be in color and taken against a white or lightly colored background.
You should be looking directly at the camera. Pictures even slightly in profile have been known to be rejected.
Your face should fill between 70 to 80% of the photo area.
One important requirement is that the photos should be images captured on film and printed on photographic paper. Digital image printed out on glossy paper like you would do for photos you have taken are not accepted.
Mexican Visa photos should meet the same specifications as the passport ones. Once again it is advisable to submit and extra copy (4 in all) of your photos along with the visa application to be in the safe side.

While the specs Mexican visa and passport photos are not as highly defined as those of some other countries, be careful not the take the requirements for granted and ensure that you submit the right kind of photos.

Citizens of some countries do not require visas to enter Mexico. Before travelling to the country is makes sense to check with the Mexican Embassy nearest you as to whether or not you need a visa.
