Passport photo requirements China

We are able to create a Chinese 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. 

In case you need a visa photo printed out, as well as receive it digitally, it will cost a total of €20,- due to the different formatting between a printed and digital visa. In particular, the position of the head and eyes are different from one another.

In some instances you may need both. We will send this digital photo to your email address. For a passport photo the print version and digital version are the same.

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 requirements:

We are aware of the latest developments in the rules and requirements that a country imposes on 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 correspond so that you are always up to date.
