Every Saudi work or visit visa file needs a recent colour photo, and Bangladeshi recruiting agencies often return files because of a wrong size or background. The standard Saudi visa photo is 4 × 6 cm (40 × 60 mm) on a white background. Below you will find exactly how it should look and how to make it at home instead of paying a studio again.

👉 Make your 4×6 cm Saudi photo: Saudi visa photo maker – then print the sheet at any studio.
Where the photo is used
- Saudi visa application through the recruiting agency or the visa platform
- GAMCA medical centre registration – check the centre’s instructions
- BMET registration and the clearance card file
- Iqama (residence permit) processing after arrival
Agencies usually ask for 4–6 printed copies plus a digital file. The print sheet option in our tool puts several 40 × 60 mm photos on one 4×6 inch or A4 page so you only pay for one print.
Mistakes that delay Saudi visa files
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Using a 45 × 55 mm Bangladeshi studio photo | Use 40 × 60 mm for Saudi files |
| Light blue or grey background | Change it to plain white |
| Old photo with a different beard or hairstyle | Take a new photo that matches how you look now |
| Photo printed on normal paper | Print on photo paper at 100% size |
👉 Before you travel, check your visa online: Saudi visa check by passport number, and complete BMET registration and smart card.
