Panama Passport Photos and Visa Photo Requirements – Rules, Guidelines, and Specifications

The information above is not enough to help you take an adequate passport photo or visa photo, which is why we are more than happy to provide additional details. Our purpose is to help you take a perfect passport photo so that you can avoid rejection. Here is what you should know:

  • Before taking your photo, find a white wall because you must take your picture against a white background. It’s okay if you do not have access to one. The best alternative is for you to take a white sheet that is not see-through and hang it on a wall. Just make sure that it does not have patterns or shadows.
  • The lighting is essential, which is why you must pay attention to this detail. You cannot appear in your picture with shadows on your face, which is why a frontal source is ideal. Check the intensity too. It cannot be too bright or too dim.
  • The best possible position you can adopt is with your head straight and your face forward. Do not rotate your head in any way because portrait-style photos are always rejected.
  • The only allowed facial expression in a passport photo or visa photo is neutral. Needless to say, you cannot smile, squint, or raise your brows.
  • Your eyes must be perfectly distinguishable. Glasses with clear frames are okay as long as there is no flash reflection in the photo. You cannot wear sunglasses or glasses equipped with tinted lenses when you take your passport photo or visa photo.
  • Headwear can be kept on only for religious and cultural purposes. There are no other exceptions. What you should keep in mind, however, is that even if your head is covered, your face must be visible. It has to be seeable from the top of your forehead to the bottom of your chin and from ear to ear.
  • If your beard represents your everyday appearance, you are allowed to keep it for your passport photo or visa photo.

Rules and Requirements for Babies, Infants, and Newborn Passport and Visa Photos

In case you are planning to travel with your children, they need passports and visas too. With iVisa Photos, you can take their pictures at home to avoid a stressful photo session in a strange place. Here are some rules and tips that can help you:

  • All background rules apply to children as well. If you want to photograph your child in a car seat, as many parents do, remember to cover the backrest of the chair with a white sheet. When shooting the photo of your child from above in the lying down position, place a white layer underneath.
  • You cannot appear at all in your child’s passport photo. Many parents hold their babies during the photo session. Still, not even your hands can be visible in the shot.
  • You must remove your child’s headwear, pacifier, toys, etc. from the shot.
  • The picture of your child must be taken when he/she is awake.
