Where can I take Chinese visa photos in the USA?
I'm applying for a Chinese visa. Requirements Photo size: 48mmx33mm, width of head: 15mm to 22mm, height of head: 28mm to 33mm.
I live in Missouri. It sucks. I tried CVS, Walgreens, Walmart. Nobody can do it. All these shops offer standard US passport 2" by 2" photos.
What should I do?
Best Answer
If you are going through a visa agency, ask them for advice. Often they specifically WANT US-sized photos so they can edit and cut them to the correct size themselves.

Answer 2
I have had success with online visa photo websites. (The one I used was epassportphoto.com but there are others.) You just take a selfie with your smartphone camera and upload it to the website, tell them what country's specs you want, and then they crop it to the right size and make sure the lighting is OK and then send it to a CVS for printing where you can pick it up. (You do have to cut it out yourself using scissors, but they provide the lines to cut along.) It costs on the order of $10-20, similar to what a photo shop would charge. I applied for a Chinese visa with the resulting photographs and the consulate accepted them without complaint or comment.
Note: I have no affiliation with any of these websites.
Answer 3
The standard US Passport photo works for a Chinese Visa. I did this last year and had the pictures taken at CVS and attached to my Chinese Tourist Visa application and it was accepted with no issues.
Answer 4
I’d take a high-res picture myself, scale it down in a graphics editor to get the head size right, then crop it in the same program. Add a frame of a contrasting color to make it 4x6, print that for less than a buck at Walmart, then cut the frame off with scissors.
Answer 5
I used an app called Passport Photo on my smartphone. Had somebody take a picture of me against a light-colored background, emailed the pictures to the travel agency handling my visa application. Worked fine last November.
Answer 6
I did my chinese visa last September. It was confusing for me because some said a standard 2x2 is fine but the consular office article particularly wanted 33x48 mm photo and a completely white background. So I took one at CVS and used a background removal visa photo service. I submitted both of them just in case. I don't know which one they accepted. The one that I took at CVS was not completely white. Do both if you want to go safe.
