Photo requirements Belgium for passport and visa

The passport photo requirements for Belgium are that you must submit one official coloured passport photo that meets the standards of the I.C.A.O. (International Civil Aviation Organization). Both the passport photo and the visa photo must meet the same requirements of the Schengen countries.

Cost of passport photo or visa photo Belgium:

We are able to create a Belgian passport photo for as low as € 15,-. With it, you will receive 6 photos. These will be cut and neatly packaged in a small suitcase for you.  

In case you also need a digital variant of the photo alongside your prints, it will cost an additional €2,50. This variant will be sent to your email address. 

You can simply walk in without an appointment at our studio over on Hugo de Grootplein 17 in Amsterdam.  The passport photos will be made for you immediately.   

Though it is not necessary, an appointment can always be made so you can make sure that you can be helped at a specific time if you are currently unavailable.

Adjustment in the requirements:

We are aware of the latest developments in the field of the rules and requirements that a country sets for the passport photo. It is possible that a country decides to adjust the requirements for taking a passport photo. Therefore, always take the form that you receive from your consulate with you when you have the passport photo taken. In general, the consulate is the first to receive the new rules. We will then check for you whether the requirements match, so that you are always up to date.
