China's visa photo uses a unique 33x48mm size — different from most ICAO-standard countries.

No shadows, patterns, or textures.
Mouth closed, both eyes open, looking straight ahead.
China uses 33x48mm, not the common 35x45mm ICAO size.
Many applicants mistakenly submit a standard 35x45mm passport photo for their Chinese visa application. The correct size is 33mm wide by 48mm tall, with the head (chin to top of head) measuring 28-33mm and positioned 3-5mm from the top edge of the photo.
Getting this exact size right matters — visa processing centers routinely reject photos that don't match the precise dimensions.
Keep your look natural and avoid anything uniform-like.
Avoid clothing that resembles a uniform, including camouflage patterns or clothing that matches the background color. Avoid heavy makeup, and remove large or dangling jewelry that might obscure your face or be considered a religious/cultural accessory that requires special handling.
If you wear glasses, try to remove them, or make sure there is no glare or reflection covering your eyes and no thick frames obscuring them.
A clean, plain white background is required.
The background must be plain white with even, shadow-free lighting. Avoid colored or patterned backgrounds, and make sure there's no shadow cast behind your head or shoulders.
Your photo must reflect your current appearance.
The photo should have been taken within the last 6 months. Visa application centers compare the photo to your passport and your in-person appearance, so an outdated photo can cause delays.
