Огляд

Ethiopia requires a 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a white background, administered by the Main Department of Immigration and Nationality Affairs under the Ministry of Peace. Ethiopia transitioned to an e-Passport system in 2018, requiring ICAO-compliant biometric photos for all new passport applications and renewals. Photos must show the full face in a frontal view with neutral expression and both eyes visible. The immigration department has strict requirements about head coverings and mandates that the face remain fully visible from chin to crown.

Plain white background with uniform illumination and no shadows

Вимоги

  • Photo dimensions must be 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI)
  • Background must be plain white with even lighting
  • Full frontal face with neutral expression and mouth closed
  • Both eyes open and looking directly at the camera
  • No glasses, sunglasses, or tinted lenses
  • Religious head coverings permitted but face must be fully visible from chin to crown
  • Photo must be recent, taken within the last 6 months
  • No digital retouching, filters, or beauty mode enhancements

Поширені причини відмови

  • Background not uniformly white or containing shadows
  • Wearing glasses or any eyewear
  • Head covering obscuring any part of the face or hairline
  • Photo resolution too low for e-Passport biometric processing
  • Facial expression not neutral or eyes not directed at the camera
  • Photo showing signs of digital manipulation or filter application

Поради

  • For applications at the Main Department in Addis Ababa, arrive early as photo facilities on-site may have long queues
  • Many photo studios near immigration offices in Addis Ababa are familiar with e-Passport requirements
  • Wear a dark, solid-colored shirt for clear contrast against the white background
  • Ensure the photo is printed on high-quality paper, as low-quality prints are commonly rejected
  • For diaspora applications at Ethiopian embassies, confirm whether photos are captured on-site or must be supplied
