Egypt consular visa photo guide from Japan

First confirm the scope

This guide covers photos for a consular visa application mailed from Japan to the Embassy of Egypt in Japan. Do not transfer these values to another embassy, application destination, or submission channel.

• Application route: postal submission to the Embassy of Egypt in Tokyo.
• Market: Japan / channel: consular postal / provider: Embassy of Egypt in Japan.
• Treat the e-Visa as a separate route for Japanese nationals; do not merge it with the consular route.

Photo requirements for the Embassy of Egypt in Japan route

The following requirements are confirmed for the Japan consular route at the embassy. Values are rendered from the Requirement projection.

• Size: 35 x 45 mm.
• Colour: colour.
• Background: white background.
• Count: 2 photos.

Keep e-Visa and consular visa separate

Japan is listed as eligible for the e-Visa route. However, the public e-Visa guidance reviewed does not confirm whether a photo is required or specify its dimensions, format, file size, background, recency, face occupancy, or pose. Do not transfer the consular 35 x 45 mm value to e-Visa.

• If the authenticated e-Visa form shows photo conditions, follow that current route-specific instruction.
• Do not infer unresolved e-Visa technical specifications from the printed consular-photo requirements.

Preparing the photo (PRACTICAL ADVICE)

This section is practical advice for preparing a photo against the confirmed requirements; it is not an official specification of how the photo must be taken.

• Start with a clear source image and avoid face-changing filters or heavy alterations.
• Keep the background visibly white without altering the face or outline to make the background appear white.
• The reviewed official consular pages do not state numeric recency, face occupancy, or pose specifications.
• Choose a home, studio, or other capture method that lets you review the photo clearly and reproduce the physical print size.

Printing (PRACTICAL ADVICE)

The official guidance does not prescribe home printing, convenience-store printing, or a photo shop. Treat the printing method as a practical choice, separate from the official requirements.

• Set the physical print size to 35 x 45 mm.
• When cropping, avoid stretching the image or distorting the person, and keep the print-frame ratio intact. This is practical advice, not a numeric official face-occupancy rule.
• After printing, check the physical dimensions with a ruler instead of relying only on the on-screen preview.
• Prepare the prints in colour, with a white background, and as 2 photos.
• Changing the printing method does not make a separate passport-photo workflow applicable to this visa route.

Photo checks before mailing

The Embassy of Egypt in Japan route is submitted by post. Before applying, check the embassy’s current submission guidance and prepare the photos to be mailed with the other application materials.

• Confirm that the photos are 35 x 45 mm, colour, white background, and 2 photos.
• Before enclosing them, check the physical prints for dirt, folds, or size mismatch.
• Confirm the current embassy guidance for the address, documents, payment, return, and other non-photo conditions.
• Because postal-submission instructions may change, recheck the official guidance before mailing.

Common scope mix-ups

4 x 6 cm (40 x 60 mm) is a separate workflow: This belongs to the Ministry of Interior workflow for Egyptian passports and does not apply to a Japanese applicant’s foreign-visa route. Do not use that passport workflow to override the consular visa photo route at the embassy in Japan.

• Start with the application destination, provider, and channel rather than a global statement about “Egypt visa photos.”
• Do not treat values from another market’s embassy or a photo shop as official requirements for this Japan route.
• Advice from a studio or agent about when to take a photo does not replace a numeric requirement absent from the reviewed embassy page.

What the Web Tool can do

The published Web Tool lets you prepare this route’s photo in the browser and review the output before printing. The Tool’s pixel, byte, and format settings are product-output contracts, not official requirements of the Embassy of Egypt in Japan.
