FAQ

What photo do I need for an online Taiwan visa application?
A portrait matching the print standard: white background, face-on, face clearly visible. Use a high-quality original file, not a blurry compressed one.

It's best to remove them to avoid glare and frame shadows.
Can I make a Taiwan visa photo online?
Yes. K-BLACK's free tool automatically removes the background, aligns the head to the Taiwan visa standard and exports a 300 dpi print file. For important applications, we recommend shooting at the studio to ensure the lighting and pose meet the standard.
