Question 1

What size photo is required for a Sudan visa application?

Accepted Answer

Visa applications related to Sudan — including the Sudan e-Visa submitted by visitors, and Schengen visa applications submitted by Sudanese nationals — require a 35×45mm photo in colour. 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 required by the official Sudan e-Visa portal (sudan-visa.com) and by Schengen embassies.

Question 2

What background is required for a Sudan visa photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There should be no patterns, objects, shadows, or other people visible in the background. The Sudan e-Visa portal (sudan-visa.com) and Schengen embassies require a clean white background for biometric processing. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with a compliant plain white background.

Question 3

Does Sudan offer an e-Visa for tourists?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sudan offers an official e-Visa for eligible foreign nationals wishing to visit for tourism, business, or other purposes. Applications are submitted online via the official Sudan e-Visa portal at sudan-visa.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 and visa eligibility before applying.

Question 4

Is a hijab or religious headwear allowed in a Sudan visa photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Religious headwear such as a hijab is permitted under ICAO guidelines provided the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible. Hair, forehead, chin, and both cheeks must be unobstructed. The Sudan e-Visa portal and Schengen embassies follow ICAO standards, which allow religious headwear worn daily — the face must remain fully visible for biometric processing and identity verification. Face coverings that obscure any part of the face are not permitted.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sudanese passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to Schengen Area countries, including Germany, France, Switzerland, 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 Sudan passport application. ID Wizard produces a 35×45mm photo suitable for both purposes.

Question 6

How recent must my Sudan visa photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your visa photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must clearly reflect your current appearance. The Sudan e-Visa portal (sudan-visa.com) and Schengen embassies 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.
