Common reasons India e-Visa photos get rejected
Avoid these mistakes to make sure your photo is accepted first time.
- Photo file size outside the 10 KB–1 MB limit — the e-Visa portal rejects files that are too small (often over-compressed) or too large. Do not run the photo through additional compression before uploading.
- Background is not plain white — any colour, gradient, texture, or shadow will cause rejection. The background must be completely uniform white.
- Photo is not square — the e-Visa portal requires equal height and width (square format). Portrait or landscape photos are rejected.
- Face is not centred or head size is incorrect — your head must fill 80–85% of the frame with the face centred. Too much empty space above the head is a common cause of portal rejection.
- Image resolution below 350×350 pixels — the portal enforces a minimum resolution. Our output is 602×602 px, which comfortably meets this requirement.
Frequently asked questions
- What photo format is required for India e-Visa?
- India e-Visa requires a square JPEG photo — equal height and width — with a plain white background. The file must be between 10 KB and 1 MB, at least 350×350 pixels. PhotoPass generates a 602×602 px JPEG (typically 80–200 KB) that meets all these requirements.
- Do I need to print my India e-Visa photo?
- No. India e-Visa is entirely digital — you upload the JPEG directly to the indianvisaonline.gov.in portal during your application. No printed photo is required. Download the JPEG from PhotoPass and upload it as-is.
- Is the India e-Visa photo the same as the India visa photo?
- Yes — both require a 51×51 mm (2×2 inch) square photo with a white background. The e-Visa is purely a digital upload to the official portal, while a traditional visa sticker requires a physical printed photo submitted to the consulate or BLS centre.
- Can I wear glasses in my India e-Visa photo?
- No. Glasses are not permitted in India e-Visa photos. Remove all eyewear before taking your photo.
