Schengen Visa applications for Europe (France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands) require 35 × 45 mm photographs with 70% to 80% face coverage (face height 32–36 mm) on a light grey or neutral background. Virar Stationery produces compliant sets of 6 photos in 5 minutes for ₹80.

1 Differences Between Indian Passport & Schengen Visa Photos
Many travelers mistakenly submit standard Indian passport photos for European visas. Indian passport photos typically feature smaller face ratios (around 50-60%), whereas Schengen rules require the face to dominate 70-80% of the frame from chin to crown.
Our studio software automatically crops portraits to match European consulate biometric specifications.
Always save documents as standard PDF/A format before sending them for printing. This locks the typography, margins, and page breaks so your document prints with 100% precision. Send your file directly to our WhatsApp (+91 70210 72757) and we will check the resolution and margins before printing!
