Notes
  • NOT the ICAO format: 50×60 mm instead of 35×45 mm; photographers are explicitly warned not to crop to 35×45 mm by mistake
  • The official NVI page does NOT specify a head mm/% range; it only states the face and hairstyle must be fully visible and centered
  • Many secondary sources incorrectly cite '32-36 mm / 70-80%' (the standard ICAO 35×45mm rule) without adjusting it to the 60mm canvas; that figure is NOT included here since it is not in the official source
  • Valid max 6 months; white background, no pattern or shadows
  • Standard framing: the norm does not state a head size
