Most US recruiters expect no photo (anti-discrimination norms). Most European, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Asian recruiters expect one. Here's the map.
United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand. EEOC and similar bodies discourage photos to prevent unconscious bias in hiring.
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic. Standard practice for the "Bewerbungsfoto" / "photo de CV".
Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia — Latin America generally expects a CV photo. Often a more relaxed, friendly style than the European version.
UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan. Photo on resume is standard, with a professional headshot strongly preferred.
China, Japan (rirekisho format), South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia. Often required — a CV without a photo looks incomplete in these markets.
Globally, hospitality (server, hotel, flight attendant), retail, sales, and personal service roles benefit from a friendly headshot regardless of country norms.
