The 3x4 cm Standard
Colombia utilizes a smaller physical standard than the US or Europe. Almost all visa applications and the local ID card (Cedula) require a 3x4 centimeter (30x40mm) photograph.
White Background Priority
The background must be completely white. The Colombian migration authorities (Migración Colombia) scan these physical photos into their database, so high contrast is essential. Wear dark clothing to ensure your shoulders do not blend into the background.
Digital E-Visa Portal
For online visa applications via the Cancillería portal, the digital file must be in JPG format and under 300 KB. The aspect ratio should match the 3x4 vertical orientation. Ensure your face is clearly visible without any digital retouching.
