Varying Dimensional Rules
Chile's photographic requirements can be confusing because they vary based on the application type. Consular visas often require a 4.5 x 4.5 cm (45x45mm) square, similar to Japan. However, internal residency processes (like the RUT/RUN card) sometimes ask for a smaller 3x4 cm photo.
The Digital SERMIG Portal
The digital immigration portal (SERMIG) requires a high-quality JPG upload. The system prefers a white background, though light grey is sometimes accepted. The file size must generally be under 2 MB.
No Uniforms or Distracting Attire
You must wear plain, civilian clothing. Uniforms are strictly prohibited. Your hair must be pushed back to clearly expose the oval of your face, and both ears should ideally be visible to prevent administrative pushback.
