Good to know
Spain Schengen-visa photo: the standard ICAO 35x45mm biometric photo, face 70-80% of the height, on a plain light background (grey is the safe default across Schengen consulates). NOTE: Spain's domestic passport/DNI uses a smaller 26x32mm photo — that is a different document; this page is for the visa.
