Turkey visa photo

Turkey uses 50 by 60 mm, a size no other country on this list shares. Nothing you already own will fit, and because the frame is taller the head fills a smaller share of it than you would expect.

Questions

What size is a Turkey visa photo?

50 by 60 mm, which is 5 by 6 centimetres. No other country covered here uses this size, so an existing photo will not fit.

Why does the head look smaller in a Turkish photo?

Because the frame is taller. The head measurement of 32 to 36 mm is normal, but inside a 60 mm frame that comes to roughly 53 to 60 percent rather than the 70 to 80 percent typical elsewhere.

Can the photo be black and white?

No. Colour only.
