The guidelines and standards of the Republic of China (Taiwan) for passport photographs are in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations.
When applying for an e-passport, an applicant must submit two identical color photographs taken within the last six months. The pictures should feature a plain white background. The applicants should be facing forward and looking directly at the camera while hatless, with all facial features clearly shown. In addition, applicants may not wear tainted glasses and must clearly show their eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, face, ears, and any natural moles, birthmarks, scars, and the like so that their identity may be readily ascertained.
Please note that composite photos and selfies are not permitted and that altered photos may make it difficult to gain clearance when using e-gates at airports, thereby causing delays and inconvenience when going through the immigration process.
