How to shoot it at home

Stand facing a window so the light falls evenly on your face, about two metres from a plain wall. Have someone hold the camera at eye level rather than shooting from below. Neutral expression, mouth closed, both ears and the jawline visible, no shadow behind your head.

Printing: photos per sheet

4 photos of 50 × 60 mm fit on one A4 sheet at 300 dpi. Print at 100 % scale. “Fit to page” quietly resizes everything, and the photo stops matching the spec.

Frequently asked

What size is a Turkish residence permit (ikamet) photo, in cm and inches?

50 × 60 mm, which is 5 × 6 cm or 1.97 × 2.36 inches. Those are the same photo stated three ways; use whichever unit the form in front of you asks for.

What size is a Turkish residence permit (ikamet) photo in pixels?

600 × 720 pixels, which is 300 dpi at the print size. Anything smaller will look soft when printed.

What background colour does a Turkish residence permit (ikamet) photo need?

White, plain and evenly lit, with no shadow behind the head. The tool can replace the background for you if the wall behind you is not right.

What file format and size does a Turkish residence permit (ikamet) photo need?

JPEG, no larger than 300 KB. The export here compresses to stay under that limit without dropping below the required resolution.

How many copies of a Turkish residence permit (ikamet) photo fit on one sheet?

4 photos of 50 × 60 mm on an A4 sheet. Print at 100 % scale, never "fit to page".

Why does e-ikamet reject the photo?

e-ikamet refuses anything that is not JPEG, anything above 300 KB, and anything smaller than 600 × 720 pixels. Exporting here keeps all three inside the limits. If the file is within spec and the site still errors, that is their service, not your photo.
