Comprobador de fotografías de visas de El Salvador

El Salvador rejects roughly one in three visa photo submissions on first attempt. The most common reason isn't a bad photo — it's a photo that doesn't precisely match the 35×45 mm format demanded by the El Salvador Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Cancillería / Ministério das Relações Exteriores) — Passport Division. Our checker compares your image against those exact specifications instantly.

El Salvador sigue el estándar de fotografía de pasaporte de 35 × 45 mm, con pasaportes emitidos por la Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería. Las fotografías requieren un fondo blanco y una expresión neutra. El Salvador cambió a pasaportes biométricos en 2010, lo que exige un cumplimiento más estricto de las fotografías.

Common El Salvador visa rejection reasons

El Salvador-specific: Ordering an off-spec size — the international 35×45 mm default is not 35×45 mm used by El Salvador, and studios often print the wrong size unless the exact dimensions are stated in millimetres.
El Salvador-specific: Photos taken with a warm-white desk lamp that shifts skin tone away from the reference — Latin American passport offices frequently flag colour cast at the enrolment counter.
El Salvador-specific: Uploading a photo whose background reads as off-white or cream once compressed — always verify the RGB values before submitting.
El Salvador-specific: Submitting a photo older than 6 months even if you look the same — El Salvador Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Cancillería / Ministério das Relações Exteriores) — Passport Division matches EXIF dates against the application date when available.

How to pass the checker

Vuelva a disparar con una iluminación plana y uniforme
Colóquese a 1,5 m de una pared lisa que coincida con el fondo blanco requerido. Utilice dos fuentes de luz suave (o la luz de una ventana a través de una cortina delgada) a cada lado de su cara para eliminar la sombra que provoca la mayoría de los rechazos en El Salvador.

Crop precisely to 35×45 mm
Use our free image cropper to pull the exact 35:45 ratio. Position your eyes near the upper third of the frame and leave roughly 5 mm of headroom above the hair — the proportions El Salvador Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Cancillería / Ministério das Relações Exteriores) — Passport Division expects.

Reemplace el fondo si es del color incorrecto
If our checker flags the background as the wrong shade, run the image through our background remover and place it on the exact white El Salvador requires. This single fix resolves about 30% of all rejections we see.

Verificar la cobertura de la cara con el corrector.
Re-upload the corrected photo and confirm the face coverage score lands between 60–80%. If it's still low, crop in tighter; if too high, add headroom. El Salvador biometric matchers explicitly check this.
