What catches people out
- 33 x 48 mm — an unusual size used by almost no other country, so a standard 35 x 45 print will be rejected.
- Head height chin to crown 28–33 mm, and head width 15–22 mm.
- Plain white background, no border.
- Visa applications require the photo to have been taken within the last six months.
Requirements are set by National Immigration Administration of China and they change. Confirm the current rules with them before printing — this page is a reference, not an approval.
