Question 1

What are the photo requirements for a Bangladesh e-Visa?

Accepted Answer

The Bangladesh e-Visa (bevisa.gov.bd) requires a 35×45mm ICAO-standard photo with a plain white background. The head must occupy 70–80% of the photo height. Your expression must be neutral with your mouth closed, eyes open and looking directly at the camera. Glasses are not permitted. The photo must have been taken within the last 6 months. Always confirm current requirements on the official Bangladesh e-Visa portal (bevisa.gov.bd) before submitting your application.

Question 2

What photo is required for a Schengen visa application as a Bangladeshi national?

Accepted Answer

Bangladeshi nationals require a Schengen visa to enter the Schengen Area. The Schengen visa photo must be 35×45mm (ICAO standard) with a plain white background. The head height (chin to crown) must be 32–36mm. Your expression must be neutral, mouth closed, eyes open. Glasses are not permitted. The photo must have been taken within the last 6 months. This is the same format as the Bangladesh passport photo, so ID Wizard produces one photo suitable for both.

Question 3

Is the on-arrival visa still available for Bangladesh?

Accepted Answer

Bangladesh offers on-arrival visa facilities to nationals of certain countries visiting Bangladesh. The photo requirements for on-arrival visas are the same 35×45mm ICAO standard. Check current on-arrival visa eligibility on the official Bangladesh e-Visa portal (bevisa.gov.bd) or with the Bangladesh embassy in your country, as eligibility can change.

Question 4

Is a hijab allowed in a Bangladesh visa photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A hijab or religious head covering is permitted in Bangladesh visa photos and Schengen visa photos. The full face must be clearly visible — including the forehead, cheeks, and chin. No shadow should fall across the face from the head covering. A niqab covering the face is not accepted for biometric visa photos. The ICAO requirement is that the full face is unobstructed and clearly visible.

Question 5

Are glasses allowed in a Bangladesh visa photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Bangladesh visa photos or Schengen visa photos. ICAO biometric guidelines prohibit glasses because they can cause reflections and obstruct the facial features required for biometric matching. Remove all glasses before taking your photo.

Question 6

Can I use the same photo for a Bangladesh passport and a Schengen visa application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both the Bangladesh passport (DIP) and Schengen visa applications require a 35×45mm ICAO-standard photo with a plain white background. ID Wizard produces a single high-resolution JPEG at the correct dimensions that meets both sets of requirements. Always check with the relevant embassy or consulate to confirm their specific submission format before applying.
