India requirements

Photo size:
Passport: 35 × 45 mm
Visa / OCI: 51 × 51 mm - Background: passport — plain white · visa — light-coloured or white · OCI — light colour, NOT white
- Head height (chin to crown): Visa / OCI: 25–35 mm
India uses three different photos and they are not interchangeable:
• Passport — 35 × 45 mm on a plain white background, printed on photo paper (computer printouts are refused), dark clothing.
• Visa — square, 51 × 51 mm in practice, plain light-coloured or white background, head 25–35 mm.
• OCI — square 51 × 51 mm, and the background must be a plain light colour that is not white.
Visa and OCI share the same dimensions but have opposite background rules, so please tell us exactly which document you are applying for. Singapore applicants file through BLS International, whose checklist can be stricter than the ministry's.

Photo tips for the best result
- Neutral expression, mouth closed, both eyes open and clearly visible
- Face the camera squarely — no tilting or turning
- Even lighting on the face, with no shadow falling on the background
- Stand about half a metre in front of a plain wall, with the camera around 1.5 m away
- Ask someone else to take it using the rear camera — arm's-length selfies distort the face
- Send the original file, uncropped and unfiltered
We size, position and adjust the background so the photo meets the specification. We do not retouch faces — several authorities, including ICA Singapore, reject photos whose features have been altered.
Soft copy — edited and emailed back within 1 working day, ready for online applications.
Printed photos — collect from our Chinatown shop, or add delivery at checkout.
If a photo cannot be made compliant we will tell you what to fix and you can send another at no extra charge.

Walk in any time during opening hours — no appointment needed. We photograph you, edit to specification and print on the spot, usually in about 20 minutes.
In-store photography is a walk-in service and is not ordered online. Ordering here is for customers who would rather send their own photo, or who cannot come down to the shop.
