Laos passport photo size & rules
A Laos passport photo is prepared for the Department of Consular Affairs, which handles passports and travel documents for Lao citizens. The standard size is 35mm wide by 45mm tall, taken as a recent, front-facing colour photograph. The applicant should face the camera directly with the head centred, and the face should be prominent in the frame, with the chin-to-crown distance generally falling between 32mm and 36mm so that features are clear and easy to match at immigration checkpoints.
As Lao passports are mainly used for travel within Southeast Asia and for visa applications to destinations abroad, submitted photos should meet clear and consistent standards. The background must be plain white and evenly lit, with no shadows behind the head and nothing else in view. The expression should be neutral with the mouth closed and both eyes open and unobstructed by hair. Reflective or tinted glasses should be avoided, and any head covering is accepted only when worn for religious reasons and only if the full face remains clearly visible.
Pixohub composes your Laos passport photo entirely within your browser, uploading nothing to any server, so your image stays private on your own device, and the tool is free to use. Since official requirements can be updated, always verify the current specifications with the Department of Consular Affairs before you print your photo or submit it with a passport application.
