A United Arab Emirates visa photo is 43x55mm (about 508x650px at 300dpi) on a white background. Make the final photo and print sheet locally below.

The UAE uses a 43x55mm visa photo with a true plain-white background (not off-white or grey). The face fills 70-80% of the frame, looking straight ahead, neutral expression, no glasses. For online GDRFA/ICP applications a 300x369 px image is typically required.

How the UAE visa photo process works

A United Arab Emirates visa photo is 43×55 mm at 300 DPI (508×650 px) on a true plain-white background, with the face filling 70–80% of the frame, looking straight ahead with a neutral expression and no glasses. You take the photo to spec and submit it with your application to the UAE visa authority — either uploaded to the online GDRFA or ICP systems, where a 300×369 px image is typically expected, or handed in with a paper application. Snapfora crops and sizes the image locally and flags head height and tilt, so you can fix any problem before you submit rather than after a rejection. We build to the published spec but the issuing authority makes the final decision.

Printing a UAE visa photo locally

If you need a physical print, tile the 43×55 mm photo onto a 4×6 / 6×4 inch sheet — Snapfora lays out several copies with cut lines — and print at any photo kiosk, pharmacy, or print shop, then trim neatly along the lines. For online GDRFA or ICP submissions you don't need a print at all: just upload the JPEG at the size the portal asks for (typically 300×369 px).
