Malaysia Visa Photo Size and Requirements
Malaysia visa photos are 35 × 50 mm (1.38 × 1.97 in) on a white background. The head height should be 25–35 mm (chin to crown). Glasses are not allowed. The photo must be taken within the last 6 months. No official photo specification is published, so these rules come from several photo-guide sources. Confirm them with your embassy before you apply.
