Cambodia eVisa Photos for Babies and Kids: What American Families Need for Each Child
Every child on a family trip needs their own Cambodia eVisa photo, and the rules are the adult rules — plain white background, eyes open, neutral face, no parent hand in frame. That last one is what trips families up. Here is the lay-down trick for babies and the eye-level routine for toddlers that pass the upload check first time.
What does a Cambodia eVisa photo for a baby or child need to be?
A recent passport-style color photo of the child against a plain white or off-white background, with the full face visible and centered, eyes open, and a neutral expression — no smile, no pacifier, no toy, no glasses, and no parent hand or arm in the frame. Submit it as a JPEG under 2 MB, ideally 600×600 pixels or larger and roughly square. For a baby who cannot sit up, lay them on their back on a plain white sheet and shoot straight down from directly above. The spec is identical to the adult photo, which means every child needs their own — there is no shared family photo and no exemption for infants.
Wichtigste Erkenntnisse
- Every child needs their own Cambodia eVisa photo — there is no shared family photo and no exemption for babies. The infant spec is the same as the adult spec.
- The rule American parents miss most: no parent hand, arm, or second person in the frame. For a baby that cannot sit up, lay them on a plain white sheet and shoot straight down from above.
- Eyes open and a neutral expression are required at every age. No pacifier, no toy, no smile if you can manage it — a calm, relaxed face is what the upload validator wants.
- Background, file, and framing match the adult photo: plain white or off-white, JPEG under 2 MB, ideally 600×600 pixels or larger, full face centered with even daylight.
- A flagged child photo is a same-day fix, not a fresh application — free resubmission is included and the 3-business-day clock keeps running once you re-upload.
Why every child needs their own photo
This guide walks through the exact spec for a child, the lay-down trick for a baby who cannot sit up, the eye-level routine for a toddler, and the handful of flags that bounce a child photo back to your inbox. The full photo specification is identical to the adult one, so our Cambodia eVisa photo requirements for US citizens covers the numbers, and the wider Cambodia eVisa for minors guide covers the other documents each child needs.
The Cambodia eVisa photo spec for a child
The lay-down trick for a baby who cannot sit up
Light it with daylight from a nearby window, never the camera flash, which bounces off a small face and washes it out. Time it for when the baby is calm and alert rather than fussy or drowsy, and take a dozen frames so you can pick the one with open eyes and a relaxed face — that one frame is usually the whole battle. The background and lighting logic is the same one adults use, laid down flat; our Cambodia eVisa photo requirements for US citizens covers the wall-and-window setup it is based on.
Toddlers and older children — get to their eye level
The flags that bounce a child photo
- A parent hand or arm in frame. The instinct to steady a baby chin or hold a toddler still is the single most common family flag. The child must appear alone against the background.
- Eyes closed. A sleeping newborn or a mid-blink toddler reads as a closed-eye fail. Take many frames and pick one with the eyes clearly open.
- A pacifier, bottle, or toy. Anything in or near the mouth, or held in the shot, has to come out. Even a pacifier clipped to the chest can intrude on the frame.
- A patterned or colored background. A printed crib sheet, a nursery wall decal, or a colored blanket is not the plain white the validator wants. Use a smooth white sheet or wall.
- A smile or open mouth. A big grin or a laughing face fails the neutral-expression rule. A calm, closed-mouth look is what passes.
- A second person in the frame. A sibling holding the child, or a parent partly visible at the edge, gets caught. Crop tight to the child alone.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Does a baby need their own Cambodia eVisa photo?
Yes. There is no exemption for infants — every child, including a newborn, needs their own eVisa and their own photo on the same plain-white-background, eyes-open, neutral-expression rule as an adult. There is no shared family photo. The easiest method for a baby is to lay them on their back on a plain white sheet and shoot straight down from directly above, which keeps the background clean and removes any need for a hand to prop them up.
How do I take a Cambodia visa photo for a baby who cannot sit up?
Lay the baby flat on their back on a smooth plain white sheet, blanket, or towel with nothing else in the frame, and shoot straight down from directly above with the phone held parallel to the surface. The white bedding becomes the background and gravity keeps the head centered, so no hand is needed. Use daylight from a nearby window rather than the flash, time it for when the baby is calm and alert, and take a dozen frames to catch one with the eyes open.
Can a parent hold the baby in the Cambodia eVisa photo?
No. A parent hand, arm, or any second person in the frame is the most common reason a family photo is flagged. The child has to appear alone against the plain background. For a baby who cannot hold their head up, the lay-down method — flat on a white sheet, shot from above — solves this without anyone needing to steady the child.
Do the eyes have to be open in a baby Cambodia visa photo?
Yes. Eyes open is required at every age, and a sleeping newborn photo is one of the most common child rejections. Take the shot when the baby is calm and alert rather than drowsy, and shoot many frames so you can pick the one with both eyes clearly open and a relaxed expression.
How do I photograph a toddler for the Cambodia eVisa?
Get down to the toddler eye level rather than shooting down from adult height, which distorts a small face. Sit them in a chair draped with a plain white sheet or stand them about two feet from a plain white wall, use the rear camera in daylight from a side window, and keep every toy, pacifier, and sibling out of the frame. A calm, closed-mouth expression passes — you are only avoiding a big grin, a scrunched face, or a cry.
Can my children share one photo or one eVisa?
No to both. Each child applies on their own passport for their own eVisa, and each eVisa needs its own photo. There is no family bundle and no shared image — a family of four is four separate $80 USD applications, each with its own headshot. When filling several forms at once, name each photo file clearly and check each application against the right passport so you do not load the wrong child photo.
