Luxembourg · Schengen visa photo requirements

Prepare a suitable original

Start with a sharp, recent photograph of one person, facing the camera. Keep the face visible and lighting even. Leave room around the head and shoulders so the photo can be framed without stretching it.

Check the application route

Regional reference only: confirm the exact print size, number of copies and submission route with your destination’s consulate. This is not a verified destination-specific specification.

Keep your appearance natural

Keep the original background and your natural facial features. Avoid beauty filters, facial retouching or invented detail. If the lighting or background does not meet the requirements, take a new photograph.

Review the preview

The preview detects a face and suggests a crop for the selected shape. Head positioning is approximate. It does not verify all requirements, issue an official photo code or guarantee acceptance. Review the original against the official guidance before submitting your final photo.
