Brazil Visa Photo

The Brazil visa photo must adhere to the following specifications: - Dimensions: 35mm (width) x 45mm (height). - Background: Plain white or off-white, without patterns or shadows. - Head Position: Centered, occupying 70–90% of the frame. - Appearance: Neutral expression, eyes open and visible, no headwear (except for religious reasons), and dark-colored clothing contrasting with the background. Photos must be high-resolution, unedited, and printed on matte or glossy photo paper. Digital submissions are accepted if compliant with these standards. Avoid automated photo booths or casual selfies, as they often fail to meet technical requirements.

To check your Brazil visa status: 1. Visit the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ official portal (https://scedv.serpro.gov.br/). 2. Navigate to “Check Visa Status” under the Foreign Citizens section. 3. Input your full name (as on your application) and date of birth. 4. Complete the CAPTCHA verification and submit.

The Brazil visa photo requires a plain white background with uniform lighting, ensuring no shadows, patterns, or textures. The image must be sharply focused, high-resolution, and free from pixelation. Applicants should face the camera directly with a neutral expression, both shoulders visible, and hair neatly styled without obscuring facial features. Religious headwear is permitted if it does not cast shadows or alter facial. Dark-colored headgear (if required) must contrast distinctly against the white background. Avoid accessories or clothing that blend with the background.

Processing typically takes 15 business days for application review and 5 business days for visa issuance. To avoid delays, submit your application well in advance of your travel date.
