Vietnamese passport — common questions
What is the official Vietnamese passport size?
The official Vietnamese passport size is 40 mm × 60 mm (1.57 in × 2.36 in). For digital uploads it equals 472 × 708 px at 300 DPI.
What background color is required for a Vietnamese passport?
Vietnamese passport photos must be taken on a plain white background, evenly lit and free of shadows or patterns.
How big should the face appear in a Vietnamese passport photo?
The head should fill approximately 70–80% of the photo height, with eyes positioned in the upper-middle of the frame and a neutral expression looking straight at the camera.
Can I take a Vietnamese passport photo at home?
Yes. Use a recent phone photo against a plain wall, with even daylight and no glasses. Our tool then crops, recolors the background, and resizes to the official 40 mm × 60 mm template.
Can I print the Vietnamese passport at CVS, Walgreens, or another pharmacy?
Yes. We generate a 4x6 print sheet with 6 photos that any pharmacy or photo kiosk can print.
