Create with this specVerbatim official spec
The verbatim official spec from CVASC (Chinese Visa Application Service Center, the official partner of the Chinese Embassy in Japan) is shown below in the original Japanese.
- 「6ヶ月以内に撮影された正面カラー写真（白背景・帽子なし・小2寸パスポート写真（48mm×33mm））」
- 「数字相片规格不低于354(宽)×472(高)像素，不大于420(宽)×560(高)像素，一般文件大小在40K-120K字节之间」
Why this spec matters
China visa photos are 33×48mm (small-2-inch, W×H), subtly different from the typical Japanese passport photo (35×45mm). A rejection at CVASC means a retake and reapplication that can cost a week or more.
