Question 1

What size photo is required for a Bahamas visa or eVisa application?

Accepted Answer

Visa applications related to the Bahamas — including Schengen visa applications submitted by Bahamian passport holders, and Bahamas eVisa applications submitted by eligible visitors — require a 35×45mm colour photo. The head height from chin to crown must be approximately 32–36mm within the frame. The photo must be taken against a plain white background, be sharp and in focus, and have been taken within the last 6 months. This ICAO 35×45mm format is accepted by all major embassies and the official Bahamas eVisa portal (bahamas-evisa.com).

Question 2

What background is required for a Bahamas visa photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There should be no patterns, objects, shadows, or other people visible in the background. Schengen embassies and immigration authorities require a clean white background for biometric processing. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with a compliant plain white background.

Question 3

Does the Bahamas offer an eVisa for visitors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Bahamas offers an eVisa for eligible nationalities who are required to obtain travel authorisation in advance. Applications are submitted online via the official Bahamas eVisa portal at bahamas-evisa.com. Applicants must upload a compliant digital photo — a 35×45mm colour image with a plain white background — as part of the application. Always check current entry requirements before travelling.

Question 4

Do US citizens and other nationalities need a visa to visit the Bahamas?

Accepted Answer

No. US citizens and nationals of many other countries — including Canada, the United Kingdom, EU member states, and most Commonwealth nations — can enter the Bahamas without a visa. A valid passport is required, and entry conditions (such as the maximum length of stay) may apply. Always verify current entry requirements with the Bahamas Department of Immigration before travelling.

Question 5

Do Bahamian passport holders need a Schengen visa to travel to Europe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bahamian passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to Schengen Area countries, including Germany, France, Spain, and most EU member states. Schengen visa applications submitted at European embassies or VFS Global centres require a compliant 35×45mm ICAO biometric photo. The same photo format is also valid for the Bahamas passport application. The Bahamas is a Commonwealth member with historical ties to the United Kingdom.

Question 6

How recent must my Bahamas visa photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your visa photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must clearly reflect your current appearance. Schengen embassies and immigration authorities may reject a photo that does not accurately represent your present appearance. ID Wizard produces your photo immediately, so it will always satisfy the recency requirement.
