Non-Bangladeshi Nationals:
Visa applicants who are not Bangladeshi nationals have to present the same documents
as listed above.
They must have a valid Bangladesh residence permit and re-entry visa into Bangladesh
valid for at least 3 months after the expiry date of the Schengen visa.
Applicants, submit your Application form with the new photo format, as explained below:
General
- The photo must fulfill the norm specified by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization).
- Use plain light-coloured background.
- The photo must be no more than 6-months old.
- Not tilted picture (portrait style) showing both edges of face clearly.
- Close up of the head and top of the shoulders so that the face takes up 70–80% of the photograph.
- Photo in sharp focus and clear.
Photo Size
The photo for each visa applicant submitted must measure:
- The picture dimensions must be 240 pixels wide by 320 pixels high at least. A smaller picture will be rejected.
For instance, a photo being 235 pixels by 320 pixels is not valid.
- On the other hand, the photo should keep a proportion of 3 x 4 (width x height) within limits. However, 250 x
340 pixels picture would be valid, but not a 290 x 340 pixels one.
- Finally, the image weight (size in Kbytes) can never be bigger than 120 Kbytes.
Resolution
- An image resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch) and it's mainly used to control printing quality.
Therefore, higher resolution means better printing quality.
- Photos resolution should be 300 dpi, so, when you scan the image, check this parameter carefully. However, bear
in mind that the higher the resolution, the bigger the picture.
- The only image format accepted is JPEG (Join Photograph Expert Grup Format). The other image formats such as
BMP, TIFF, GIF, PNG, etc. will be rejected (a warning will be shown).
Attaching the Photo to the Application form
- Glue one photograph to the application form in the designated space.
Note : If children are traveling with their parents and are included inside the passport of the mother and/or
the father, one photograph for each children MUST be glued to the application form of the father or the mother,
depending on whom are they traveling with.
Please follow these instructions carefully. If the photograph presented do not meet these requirements your
application will be considered incomplete.
BLS work is primarily administrative in nature; we have no say on whether you will be granted a visa and how long it
will take to process your application, as this is entirely the prerogative of the Embassy or Consulate. Please note
as per the instructions received from Embassy of Spain minimum processing time is 21 Calendar days (which may
be delayed depending on case to case).
