Lithuania residence permit photo guide

Photo requirements

The photo size, format, and background conditions for the application.

• The official standard page requires the photo to be 40 x 60 mm (width x height).
• At least 3 identical photos are required (the exact number depends on the document type).
• The photos must be presented on one sheet. Arranging them on the sheet and cutting them out as 35×45 mm rectangles remain the applicant's own actions. This tool only outputs the 40×60 mm print photo sheets and does not print cutting marks.
• The photos must be taken and arranged so they can be cut from the sheet as 35×45 mm rectangles. This 35×45 mm cut-out area is a separate basis from the 40×60 mm photo size.
• The background must be very light, monochrome and even, with no shadows (the official wording names no single colour).
• The official face composition (chin-to-crown 31–35 mm, 70–80% of the photo height, and so on) is specified only as a range based on the 35×45 mm cut-out area, with no single numeric face-size value. For documents issued with laser engraving (including the residence permit) a non-colour photo is recommended, and taking the photo within the last six months is also a recommendation (neither is mandatory).
