Conclusion

In summary, the Armenia visa photo must be exactly 35 × 45 mm (3.5 × 4.5 cm) with the head—measuring 32–36 mm from chin to crown—centered and evenly lit against a plain, light-colored background. Your face should be shown in sharp focus, with a neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes fully visible and looking straight at the camera. No headwear, tinted glasses or accessories that obscure facial features are permitted (except for documented religious reasons, with the full face remaining visible). The image must be in color, free of shadows or reflections, printed on high-quality photo paper, and taken within the last six months. Adhering to these specifications will help ensure your visa application proceeds smoothly without photo-related delays or rejections.
