Does a drugstore or pharmacy passport photo work?

Yes, dimensionally — but ask for the digital copy rather than only the printed strip. Many US chains email you the file or save it to an app, and that digital version uploads far more reliably than a phone snapshot of the print. The photo still has to be recent, on a white background, with a neutral expression and no glasses, the same content rules as the US passport photo it was taken for.

Что произойдет, если моя фотография будет помечена как подозрительная после отправки?

You get an email with a specific list of what to re-upload — usually a JPEG instead of a HEIC, or a fresh shot against a white wall. There is no extra charge: free resubmission is included in the all-in price, and once you reply with a corrected photo the 3-business-day clock keeps running. A flagged photo is a same-day fix, not a fresh application.

Is 2x2 Inches OK for a Cambodia Visa Photo? US Passport Photo Size vs the 35x45 mm Spec

Short answer: yes, the 2x2 inch photo Americans know from the US passport office works for the Cambodia eVisa, because the online application reads pixels and file size, not a printed inch or millimeter measurement. Here is why the 35x45 mm number keeps coming up, and what actually matters when you upload.

Is a 2x2 inch photo OK for the Cambodia eVisa, or does it need to be 35x45 mm?

A 2x2 inch photo is fine for the Cambodia eVisa. The online application is a digital upload that reads your photo by its pixels and file size, not by a printed inch or millimeter measurement, so the US 2x2 inch (51x51 mm) format Americans already know works without modification. The 35x45 mm figure you may have seen is the older printed passport-style dimension that describes the framing — head and shoulders, face filling most of the frame — rather than a rule the uploader checks. What the system actually requires is a JPEG under 2 MB, ideally 600x600 pixels or larger and roughly square, on a plain white background, with a neutral expression and no glasses. Crop a standard US passport photo to a square and it uploads cleanly.

Основные выводы

Yes, a US 2x2 inch (51x51 mm) photo is fine for the Cambodia eVisa — the online application reads your digital file by pixels and file size, not by a printed inch or millimeter card.
The 35x45 mm figure you see quoted is the old printed-photo passport-style dimension; it describes the framing (head and shoulders, face filling the frame), not a hard pixel rule the uploader checks.
What the validator actually enforces: a JPEG under 2 MB, ideally 600x600 pixels or larger, roughly square, on a plain white background with a neutral expression and no glasses.
A square US passport photo crops perfectly for the upload — the framing on a 2x2 and a 35x45 portrait is nearly identical once the head fills the frame, so you do not need to re-shoot.
Если фотография будет помечена как неприемлемая, вы получите четкое электронное письмо со списком того, что нужно загрузить повторно, повторная отправка будет бесплатной, а отсчет 3 рабочих дней продолжится после вашего ответа.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Is a 2x2 inch photo OK for the Cambodia eVisa?

Yes. The Cambodia eVisa is a digital upload that reads your photo by pixels and file size, not by a printed inch measurement, so the US 2x2 inch (51x51 mm) format works without modification. Crop it square, make sure it is a JPEG under 2 MB at 600x600 pixels or larger, and it uploads cleanly. The 2x2 photo also already matches the white-background, neutral-expression content rules.

Does the Cambodia visa photo have to be 35x45 mm?

No. The 35x45 mm figure is the older printed passport-style dimension that describes how the shot is framed — head and shoulders, face filling the frame — not a rule the online uploader checks. Because the eVisa is a digital upload, it measures your photo in pixels and megabytes, so a US 2x2 inch photo is just as valid as a 35x45 mm one once it is cropped and saved correctly.

What size does the Cambodia eVisa photo actually need to be?

In digital terms: a JPEG, under 2 MB, ideally 600x600 pixels or larger and roughly square, cropped to head and shoulders. Those are the numbers the upload validator reads. The "2x2 inch" or "35x45 mm" descriptions are about framing, not the file the system checks, so resolution and file size matter more than any physical dimension.

Can I reuse my US passport photo for the Cambodia eVisa?

Yes, if it is recent (within the last 6 months) and you have the digital file. Many US photo services email a 2x2 inch image at 600x600 pixels or higher, which is already in range — just confirm it is a JPEG under 2 MB and upload it. If you only have a printed card, a fresh phone shot at home is usually cleaner than scanning the print, which can pick up glare or a color cast.

Why do guides give two different photo sizes for Cambodia?

Because two passport-photo traditions overlap. The United States uses a 2x2 inch square, while the printed-photo convention many older guides were written against uses a 35x45 mm rectangle. Both describe roughly the same framing, and since the Cambodia eVisa is now an online upload that reads pixels rather than a printed card, both inch and millimeter figures are just shorthand for how to frame the shot.

Will my photo be rejected for being the wrong size?

Almost never for the inch-versus-millimeter dimension. Size-related flags come from digital-file issues instead: a HEIC file rather than a JPEG, an uncropped original over 2 MB, or a resolution below 600 pixels. Convert to JPEG, crop tightly to your head and shoulders, and check the result is at least 600 pixels per side, and the size question disappears.

Hannah runs the Rejection & Resubmission desk at VisaToCambodia. Photo size confusion is one of the most common reasons American applicants stall before they even upload, so her team has mapped exactly how the 2x2 inch US habit lines up with the 35x45 mm number floating around online.
