Spain Digital Nomad Visa photo guide

Guide policy

The Requirement record is the source of truth; unspecified values are not filled in.

• The consular-stage (telework residence visa) document list at the Embassy of Spain in Tokyo states verbatim: "Fotografía. Una fotografía reciente, tamaño carné, a color, con fondo claro, tomada de frente...". One photograph, colour, light background, and facing forward are verbatim facts from the Tokyo page.
• The authority publishes no photo dimensions in millimetres. The Tokyo page states only the qualitative "tamaño carné" (passport-photo size), with no numeric size, recency period, or face-geometry values. This page keeps the size unregistered and does not convert the qualitative wording into numbers. 35×45 mm is the adopted value of the separate Schengen C (short-stay) procedure, not a digital nomad visa requirement.
• Two-stage structure: (1) No photo is required at the UGE (Unidad de Grandes Empresas) electronic authorisation stage. None of the official UGE document bundles (main applicant / family members) or the application form (Formulario MI-T) contains a photo box or photo submission requirement (verified against the full text of all three official PDFs on 2026-08-30). (2) A photograph is required only at the consular visa stage of the Embassy of Spain in Tokyo. A copy of the full passport serves as the identity document.
