Australia Visa passport photo size & rules
When lodging an Australian visa through ImmiAccount with the Department of Home Affairs, you may need to attach a recent passport-style photograph. The commonly accepted size is 35x45mm, equal to 413x531 pixels at 300 dpi. The Department expects a close-up of the head and top of the shoulders, taken within the last six months, that clearly and accurately shows your current appearance for the visa application. The same standard applies across visitor, student, skilled, and partner visa subclasses lodged through ImmiAccount.
Australian visa photos require a plain white or very light background with even lighting and no shadows. You should face the camera directly with a neutral expression, mouth closed, and eyes open and clearly visible. Remove hats and non-religious head coverings, and avoid heavy glare on glasses; where possible remove eyewear. The head should be centred and fill an appropriate proportion of the frame from chin to crown. When Home Affairs asks you to upload documents into ImmiAccount, ensure the digital image is sharp, correctly exposed, and unedited.
