Make Jordan Visa Photo

35x45mm on plain white. Jordan publishes a head minimum of 33mm and asks for about 4mm of clearance above your hair, so the crop sits slightly tighter than the generic ICAO photo.

    Must look like you do now.

Jordan Visa Photo Requirements, Explained

The frame is the familiar 35x45mm, but Jordan's head minimum of 33mm is a millimetre above where most ICAO guidance starts — small enough to miss, big enough to fail on.

Quick Check: Do's & Don'ts

Head Minimum Is 33mm

Not 32mm. A photo sized for the generic ICAO band can land just under Jordan's floor.

No Headphones or Earpieces

Jordan calls out headphones and wireless hands-free devices by name.

Plain White, No Shadow

White background with even light behind your head.

The 33mm Floor

Jordan starts one millimetre above the usual ICAO band.

Jordan's published requirement is a head height of at least 33mm inside the 35x45mm frame, measured from the bottom of your chin to the top of your hair. Most ICAO-style guidance — the Schengen band, for instance — opens at 32mm.

One millimetre sounds like nothing, but it is the difference between a photo built to the generic minimum and one built to Jordan's. If you reuse a Schengen-sized photo cropped right at the floor, you can land just under. The guide on this page is set so the smallest head it accepts is comfortably inside Jordan's requirement.

The upper end is bounded by the frame: your head should still leave roughly 4mm of clearance above the hair, which puts the practical ceiling around 36mm.

Things Jordan Names Explicitly

Headphones and earpieces are called out in the guidance.

Jordanian guidance specifically states that headphones, wireless hands-free devices and similar items must not appear in the photo. This is unusual — most countries only say the face must be unobstructed and leave the rest to interpretation.

It matters in practice because a small in-ear device or an earbud stem is easy to forget about when you are photographing yourself at home. Check your ears before you shoot, not after.

Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open and your mouth closed, and look straight into the camera without tilting your head.

Background & Lighting

Plain white, no shadows.

The background must be plain white with no shadows. Stand about a metre clear of the wall so your own shadow falls behind you and out of frame rather than onto the surface behind your head.

Even lighting on both sides of your face is what makes a white background read as white. A single lamp off to one side will grey out one half of the wall, and a graded background is a common rejection reason even when the wall itself was white.

Recency

Within the last six months.

The photo must have been taken within the last six months and must reflect your present appearance. If you have grown or removed a beard, or changed your hair substantially, take a new photo rather than reusing one that is technically inside the window.

Work from the original camera file. A copy that has been through a messaging app has been recompressed and can look soft at the size an officer views it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What size is a Jordan visa photo?▼
35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm) on a plain white background. It is the same frame most countries use, but Jordan's head-height minimum is 33mm rather than the more common 32mm.
Q.Can I reuse a Schengen visa photo for Jordan?▼
Often yes, but check the head height. Schengen guidance accepts a head from 32mm, and Jordan asks for at least 33mm. A Schengen photo cropped right at its minimum can fall just below Jordan's floor.
Q.Why does Jordan mention headphones?▼
Jordanian guidance explicitly states that headphones, wireless hands-free devices and similar items must not appear in the photo. Most countries leave this to the general rule that nothing may obstruct the face, so it is easy to overlook an earbud you forgot to remove.
Q.Does the background have to be pure white?▼
Yes — plain white with no shadows. Stand about a metre away from the wall so your shadow does not fall onto the surface behind your head, and light both sides of your face evenly.
Q.How recent does the photo need to be?▼
Within the last six months, and it must reflect your present appearance. If your hair or facial hair has changed noticeably, take a new photo even if the old one is still inside the window.
