Thailand passport photo size & requirements
Thailand uses the common 35×45 mm passport photo size, but online applications cap the digital file at 200 KB — large enough that most people don't bother compressing, then get an upload error.

- ✕Photo taken at a downward angle, distorting the head-to-frame proportions.
- ✕Glasses with tinted lenses or heavy glare obscuring the eyes.
