O tamanho exato da foto do passaporte da China em milímetros, centímetros e polegadas
If you are preparing a passport application for China, the single number that matters most is the printed dimension:33 × 48 mm. This is the size enforced by National Immigration Administration of the People's Republic of China (国家移民管理局, NIA), with day-to-day issuance handled by the Exit-Entry Administration of the local Public Security Bureau (公安局出入境管理局, PSB) when you submit a physical photo at a China office or visa application centre. Express the same size in centimeters and you get3.3 × 4.8 cm; expresse-o em polegadas e você obterá1.30 × 1.89 inches. Every China photo studio recognises one of these three notations.
Why does China insist onexactly33 × 48 mm and not the closest standard size? Two reasons. First, ICAO Doc 9303 specifies a face-height range that only works when the print falls within tight millimeter tolerances — even being 1 mm off pushes the chin or crown out of the biometric template. Second, National Immigration Administration of the People's Republic of China (国家移民管理局, NIA), with day-to-day issuance handled by the Exit-Entry Administration of the local Public Security Bureau (公安局出入境管理局, PSB) uses physical templates with a cut-out window of 33 × 48 mm; if your photo is even slightly oversized, a clerk simply cuts it back and the cropped image fails the face-height check.

If you print at home, use glossy photographic paper rated for inkjet or laser printing. Set your printer to "Best" or "Photo" quality at 300 DPI minimum and to "Actual size" — never "Fit to page", which silently rescales the print. National Immigration Administration of the People's Republic of China (国家移民管理局, NIA), with day-to-day issuance handled by the Exit-Entry Administration of the local Public Security Bureau (公安局出入境管理局, PSB) regularly rejects home prints on plain paper because they lack the gloss layer that biometric scanners read. If you order from a print service, give them the exact figure:33 × 48 mm, acabamento brilhante, sem borda.

Erros milimétricos comuns que são rejeitados
- Imprimindo em 35 × 45 mm por padrãowhen China actually needs 33 × 48 mm. Auto print kiosks frequently default to the Schengen 35 × 45 mm size.
- Corte com tesoura após a impressão.Hand-trimming almost always shaves the head height below the National Immigration Administration of the People's Republic of China (国家移民管理局, NIA), with day-to-day issuance handled by the Exit-Entry Administration of the local Public Security Bureau (公安局出入境管理局, PSB) minimum.
- Asking for "passport size" without specifying the country.Different countries mean different mm — say "33 by 48 millimetres for China" out loud.

O tamanho de impressão necessário é 33 mm de largura x 48 mm de altura — um formato incomum que a maioria das cabines fotográficas e modelos internacionais não conseguem produzir sem redimensionamento manual. Isso se soma ao requisito de tamanho e é a causa de rejeição silenciosa para muitos pedidos de passaporte da China.
