What size is a Turkey visa photo?
Read the first line before the measurements: a Singapore passport needs no visa for Türkiye, and most other nationalities are served by the e-Visa, which is granted online in minutes and asks for no photograph. You may well need nothing from us. If you do have to apply at the Embassy, its own document list says only "one passport size photograph (taken in the last 6 months)" and gives no millimetres — the 50 x 60 mm below is Türkiye's biometric standard, not a size the Embassy states, and that page was last revised in 2014. Confirm at your appointment.
TL;DR A Turkey visa photo is 50 × 60 mm on a plain white background, supplied at 591 × 709 px (300 DPI). The expression must be neutral, looking directly at camera, and the photo must have been taken within the last 6 months.
