Laos eVisa photo
The official Lao eVisa portal (laoevisa.gov.la) requires a colour photo of 4 x 6 cm, taken within the last 6 months, with no shadows, against a plain white background, facing the camera, with a neutral expression and both eyes open. The portal publishes no pixel size or file limit, so this tool crops to the 4:6 frame at a print-faithful resolution (a tool choice, labeled as such) and runs the checks that can be verified - on your device, nothing is uploaded.

Checked against the official sources below on 7 Nov 2026.
All rules above come from the official Lao eVisa portal's FAQ, 'What are the photo requirements for eVisa?' (checked November 2026). The requirements are stated in print dimensions with no digital pixel or file-size limits; the 800 x 1200 px export here follows the 4:6 ratio - a print-faithful tool choice, labeled as such. If your application shows file limits at upload time, follow those.
How to do it
- Take a colour photo against a plain white background, facing the camera, no shadows.
- Keep a neutral expression with both eyes open.
- Upload below, frame the face between the guide lines, and create the 4:6 file.
- Confirm every checklist line, download, and upload it in your laoevisa.gov.la application.
