How to take an ABTC photo at home

A clean original image gives the application the best chance of being accepted.

  • Face the camera directly and keep your head level, centred, and upright.
  • Use even light on your face and a plain background without visible shadows.
  • Keep your eyes open and mouth closed; use a neutral expression rather than a smile.
  • Wear dark, plain clothing that contrasts clearly with a white background.
  • Turn off filters, beauty effects, portrait blur, and face-smoothing before taking the photo.

Common reasons ABTC photos are rejected

A new photo may be requested when its technical details or presentation do not match the application requirements.

  • The file is not 300 × 400 pixels or is not an accepted JPEG upload.
  • The head is too small, too large, off-centre, tilted, or turned away from the camera.
  • The background is not plain white, has shadows, or includes visible objects or patterns.
  • The image uses a smile, tinted or reflective glasses, filters, blur, or heavy retouching.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a China APEC Business Travel Card photo?
Use a 300 × 400 pixel colour photo. The reference print size is 25.4 × 33.9 mm at 300 DPI, and the head should occupy about 70–80% of the image height.
How recent must my ABTC photo be?
Use a photo taken within the last 6 months so that it accurately reflects your current appearance.
Can I use a selfie for an APEC Business Travel Card application?
You may use a phone photo as the source image, but the final submission must be a formal, front-facing biometric-style photo. Turn off filters, beauty effects, and portrait blur before taking it.
Can I smile or wear glasses in my APEC card photo?
Use a neutral expression with your mouth closed. Glasses are best removed; if worn, they must not obscure the eyes or create glare, reflections, or tint. Sunglasses are not acceptable.
What background and clothing should I use?
Use a plain, uniform white background with no shadows or texture. Choose darker, plain clothing that clearly contrasts with the background; avoid uniforms, camouflage, and very light tops.
Is a digital ABTC photo enough?
Online applications usually use a digital photo. Keep a high-quality printed version available as well, because an employer or issuing authority may ask for one during the application process. Submit your application through China's official APEC Business Travel Card application system.
What if my APEC Business Travel Card photo is rejected?
Check the 300 × 400 px size, 70–80% head height, white background, 6-month recency, direct pose, lighting, and expression before retaking it. Final acceptance is always decided by the issuing authority.
