What size is a Brazil visa photo?
What the Ministry's own requirement list settles is that the photo must be passport-style, ICAO-compliant and taken within the last 6 months. What it does not give is a size in millimetres, and Brazilian posts publish different ones — 3 x 4 cm appears on some. We output 51 x 51 mm. The Embassy in Singapore's own visa pages are behind a login we cannot pass, so check the size on the page for your visa type before you rely on ours.
TL;DR A Brazil visa photo is 51 × 51 mm on a plain white background, supplied at 600 × 600 px (300 DPI). The expression must be neutral, looking directly at camera, and the photo must have been taken within the last 6 months.

Rules that apply to this document
- The Ministry asks for a passport-style photo compliant with ICAO requirements, taken in the last 6 months
- It publishes no millimetre size — the size comes from the visa-type page or the post you apply at
- Applying is a two-step process: the online form does not submit the application; you also book an appointment
Can I wear a head covering?
A habitually worn religious or cultural head covering — a tudung, hijab, turban, kippah or songkok — is generally permitted, provided your face stays visible: forehead edge, both cheeks, jaw line and chin.
