Passport and Visa Photo Requirements for Babies, Infants, and Newborns

When applying for a Schengen tourist visa for the Czech Republic, the same requirements apply to all applicants, including infants. Here are some important tips for taking a passport or visa photo of your baby:

• Open Eyes: Ensure that your baby's eyes are open in the photograph. To achieve this, consider using toys or playful interactions to keep the baby wide awake and happy during the photo session. However, make sure the toys do not appear in the photo.

• Background: The background of the baby's photo should be white. You can create a white background using materials like a white blanket or bedsheet.

•  Convenience: If your baby is small, you can place them in their car seat to take their visa photo. This can make the process more convenient and ensure the baby's comfort during the photo session.
