Important — UAE photo size: UAE national passport and Emirates ID photos use 40×60mm (ICA standard), not the ICAO 35×45mm used in most other countries. For UAE visa applications submitted from abroad, 35×45mm is widely accepted, but always verify the exact size with the specific consulate or issuing authority. Always verify current requirements with the official UAE authority before applying.

Frequently Asked Questions
UAE national passport and Emirates ID photos use a 40×60mm format (width × height) as required by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICA). This is different from the ICAO standard 35×45mm used in most other countries. For UAE visa applications submitted from outside the UAE, a 35×45mm ICAO photo is widely accepted, but you must verify the exact size requirement with the specific issuing authority or consulate handling your visa.
