Send us your own photo and we will edit it to meet Malaysia's official passport and visa photo requirements, then send you a print-ready digital file — with printed photos too, if you choose.

Malaysia requirements

  • Photo size:
    35 × 50 mm
  • Background: plain white (VDR visa applications may also use plain blue)
  • Head height (chin to crown): 30–35 mm

Malaysia uses an unusual 35 × 50 mm frame, not the common 35 × 45 mm. For visa applications the head measures 30–35 mm from chin to crown, with a top margin of about 5 mm; uploads to ESD Online must be under 25 KB. Please note: adults applying for a Malaysian passport inside Malaysia do not supply a printed photo — Immigration captures it live at the counter with a Facial Live Capture device, and spectacles and contact lenses are not permitted at that session. Printed photos are needed for children under 4, and for applications made at Malaysian missions abroad (head 25–30 mm).

Official requirements: Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia

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.
