Japan's Immigration Services Agency wants a 4 cm tall by 3 cm wide photo for residence-status applications that issue or renew the residence card. Only cm are published, so we output 354 x 472 px (30 x 40 mm at 300 dpi). One older ISA sample form shows 4.5 x 3.5 cm; the standards page above is the current rule.
