What the official references show

An indexed MOI investor/property residence form shows a 4.8 × 3.8 photo box and says the background must not be white. This is a specific form, not evidence that every residence service uses the same format.

Blue background guidance

Indexed Qatar Financial Centre immigration guidance asks for a blue-background photograph without spectacles. Its full PDF was unavailable during this review. It does not establish a universal size, exact blue shade or current Metrash file limit.

What to confirm before submitting

Ask your sponsor or issuing office for the required width and height, background, file format and maximum file size for your exact service. Compare those instructions with the selected preset before using an export.

Common questions

Is the 35 × 45 mm preview officially verified?

No. The preview is clearly provisional; obtain the specifications for your own service first.

Can I use this guide for a Qatari passport?

No. Citizen passports and residence documents are different services.
