Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a China Visa photo?

Can I take a China Visa photo at home?
If you meet the size (3.3 × 4.8cm) and background (White) requirements, a photo you take yourself can work. Some countries and document types, though, require an in-person commercial photographer or reject photos retouched with editing software or AI — so check the official guidance before you submit. MONKOS AI removes the background and crops to spec automatically; where edited photos are not accepted, use it to check your size and framing before the shoot.
