Official requirements guide
Austria residence permit photo guide
A guide that separates confirmed conditions from unspecified requirements.

Guide policy
The Requirement record is the source of truth; unspecified values are not filled in.
- The official page requires the photo to be 45 x 35 mm (width x height), stated width-first („Größe: 45 x 35 mm") — 45 mm wide by 35 mm high, a landscape photo. This is the mirror of the Austria Schengen C visa photo (35×45 mm portrait).
- The photo must be no more than 6 months old, as required by both the federal portal and the Red-White-Red Card page.
- The number of photos, colour vs black-and-white, and the background are absent from all reviewed official pages and remain unregistered in the Requirement record (no values are inherited from other records).
- No official face-geometry rule exists either, and no face guide matches the 45×35 mm landscape size, so the tool does not show a face guide.
