What size is a Chile visa photo?

5 x 5 cm square on white - 591 x 591 pixels at 300 DPI. The digital systems accept a plain white JPEG of the same crop.

Do I need prints or a digital file?

Both, depending on the consulate: bring printed copies for in-person applications and keep the digital version for online forms.

Shadows across the face or background, wall edges visible in frame, and shoulders cropped out of the square.

Chilean consulates (consulado.gob.cl) list a 5 x 5 cm square photograph on a

plain white background for visa applications, matching the square Latin American

convention; Chile's digital immigration systems additionally accept a plain white

JPEG without stating a print size. At 300 DPI the 5 x 5 cm print is 591 x 591

pixels, the canvas this tool exports. The consular pages do not publish a numeric

head-height band, so the guide lines follow the 70-80 percent ICAO convention

used in Chilean consular practice; keep the head centred with the top of the

shoulders visible. No file-size cap is published for the upload, so the preset

leaves the limit off and exports at full quality. Shoot face-on in even daylight

against a white wall, neutral expression with both eyes open, no glasses glare,

and head coverings only for religious or medical reasons with the full face from

chin to forehead visible. Visa applications run through Chilean consulates or the

online consistency check before the stamped visa is issued, and photos that

carry shadows, visible wall edges, or cropped-off shoulders are the usual causes

of document-return requests. Verify the crop here against the guide lines, print

at 300 DPI on photo paper where a physical application is required, and keep the

digital copy for the online form.
