Photograph specification — read this before your studio visit
- 35 mm wide × 45 mm high, in colour, no border, matt or semi-matt finish.
- Taken within the last 3 months. Scanned, reprinted or unclear photographs are rejected outright.
- Plain white background, evenly lit, no shadow behind the head.
- Full face, straight to camera. Ears and forehead must both be completely visible.
- The face from chin to crown must measure between 25 mm and 35 mm, filling roughly 70–80% of the frame.
- Neutral expression, mouth closed. Smiling with teeth showing is not accepted.
- No headgear unless worn daily for religious or racial custom, and it must not hide any facial feature.
- No spectacles or sunglasses. Hair must be tied back so the face outline is clear.
One incomplete field can sink the whole file
Singapore treats an incomplete submission or an inaccurate declaration as grounds for outright rejection rather than a request for more information. Check every field against your passport — spelling, date of birth, passport number — before you hand the file over. We do this check with you before filing.
We file Singapore visas as an authorised agent
Indian passport holders can't submit directly. Bring us your documents and we'll handle Form 14A, the letter of introduction and the submission.
