Frequently Asked Questions

Are Australia visa and passport photo requirements the same?
Yes — Australian passport and visa applications use the same 35×45 mm photo specifications. A valid passport photo meeting DFAT requirements is also suitable for visa applications.
Do I need to submit a physical photo for an Australian visa?
Most Australian visa applications are processed online. You may need to upload a digital photo rather than submitting physical prints. PassportSnap provides both digital and print-ready files.
