- What background color is required?
- Plain white or very light grey, no pattern or shadows.

- Anything else to know?
- Common EU/Schengen standard (EU visa code / ICAO 9303): 35x45 mm print, face height (chin to crown) 32-36 mm occupying roughly 70-80% of the frame, neutral expression, even lighting, no glasses glare. There is no single unified digital-upload standard - each member state consulate or outsourced visa center (VFS Global, TLScontact, BLS, etc.) sets its own pixel/file-size limits for online appointment booking. The values above (~600x750 px @ 300 dpi, 10-300 KB) are the range most commonly required; confirm against the specific consulate or visa center processing the application.
