At a glance

Eswatini has one document page here, the Eswatini passport, issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs through the Immigration Office in Mbabane. The application asks for two recent, identical, full-face photographs. The size comes only from a 37 x 48 mm photo box on the form, and no background colour is published.

Overview

The Ministry of Home Affairs issues Eswatini passports, and the application form says they are issued by the Immigration Office in Mbabane. Applicants attach printed photographs to a paper form after their fingerprints are taken.

Published photo guidance is short. The form asks for photographs that are recent, clear, unmounted, identical and taken full face without a hat, and the government's own page asks for coloured prints. Missions abroad, such as the High Commission in London and the embassy in Taipei, each ask for two passport-size photos with a renewal.
