Passport Photos are photos taken that match the standard passport size of 3.5 x 4.5cm in size. There is no official passport photo “certification”, however, the term is widely used to refer to a professional-looking square photograph that can be physically applied to an application.
How to Obtain
Korvia strongly suggests that applicants use www.epassportphoto.com. This site allows you to take your own photos in front of a white sheet or wall, and then use the website’s tools to crop it to official proportions and size. You will then be able to save a sheet of the photos to a USB and can then print them at a local pharmacy or drug store for a fraction of the cost it costs to take them at a store.
How Many Do You Need?
It is recommended that you obtain 6 photos, as Korea requires them various other applications and services. Passport sized photos are required for completing the all ESL application forms as during the visa issuance process.
EPIK teachers will only submit 2 photos with their final documents, but you’ll need more for the visa process and again in Korea to apply for your ARC.
Photo and Application Examples
does the passport photos have to match the photo on my passport?
It is not necessary to match the photo on your passport.
I tried to go on the website to crop and save my picture, but it takes me immediately to checkout after I uploaded the picture without letting me crop or save anything.
I hadn’t found this page when I was looking for what type of photo to send (while I filled out my application). I even looked for what type of photo I should have. A link would be great. I sincerely hope my photo is acceptable.
Can I smile in my photo?
Hello Meiji,
Here is a guideline for your question.

Hello, I took a photo using the website, http://www.epassportphoto.com. I clicked on passport and United States and bought the picture. However, the dimensions are 2×2 inches, is that in accordance with the dimension for the EPIK application? Or should I have clicked South Korea for the country? It was not clear in the instructions.
I printed 4 photos because the place I went to wouldn’t let me print anymore than that. If I need more is it ok if my photos aren’t exactly the same?
