Indonesia Visitor Visa file preparation
eVOA / Visitor Visa vs other Indonesia visas
The same portal can contain multiple visa paths. File preparation advice should stay tied to the path you actually choose.

The photo conditions to check first
- Visitor Visa is described as single entry and valid for a 30-day stay for listed purposes.
- Other purposes may require different e-Visa or application instructions.
- shoumei.org supports photo and passport image preparation, not visa selection.
- Always compare these points with the visa type shown in your account.
What Visitor Visa / eVOA covers
The Visitor Visa information page describes a single-entry visa for 30 days of stay with purposes such as tourism, government visit, business meeting, goods purchasing, or transit. It also lists the required documents for that request.
Where mistakes happen
- Using an eVOA checklist for a long-stay or work-related route.
- Assuming a photo size from another country visa applies to Indonesia.
- Ignoring the upload field because a different help block showed another file limit.
- Treating file preparation as application advice.
What the app does
Indonesia Visa Photo helps create and check the image files used before upload. It does not submit the application, judge eligibility, contact immigration, or change the outcome of an application.

Upload mistakes that can cause problems
Avoidable file errors can slow down an Indonesia eVisa / eVOA upload. Check these points before you submit:
-
Mixing up the 200KB and 2MB limits
Different screens show different maximum sizes. Over-compressing to fit 200KB can make the face or MRZ unreadable, while trusting the 2MB hint may still get the file rejected by the upload field.
-
Glare across the passport MRZ or photo
Reflections on the machine-readable zone or the photo field stop the data from being read. Photograph the bio page in flat, even light without flash.
-
Wrong photo dimensions
The registration screen asks for a 4 x 6 cm photo at least 400 x 600 px. A face that is too large, too small, or the wrong aspect ratio can be rejected.
-
Cropped or partial passport page
Cutting off a corner, the MRZ, or the photo field means the document cannot be verified. Keep the full bio page inside the frame.
-
Non-neutral background or shadows
Patterned walls, strong side light, or shadows across the face obscure facial features. Use a plain light background lit evenly from the front.
-
Wrong format or heavy compression artifacts
Saving as HEIC or a format the portal does not accept, or JPEG quality so low the face looks blocky, causes rejection. Export as JPG/JPEG/PNG.
Why Use the Indonesia Visa Photo App?
Fit the portal file-size field
Check and resize the face photo and passport image so they meet the size shown on your application screen, without over-compressing until the text blurs.
Frame the full passport bio page
Crop the page precisely so the MRZ, photo, and all text fields stay inside the frame and remain readable after export.
On-device processing for privacy
Your photos stay on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded to a server while you prepare the files.
Export in the accepted formats
Output JPG/JPEG/PNG at the 4 x 6 cm / 400 x 600 px guidance so the file matches what the registration screen expects.
Note: shoumei.org prepares image files only. It does not submit Indonesia visa applications or choose a visa type for you.
FAQ
Can I use these guides for work or long-stay visas?
Use them only as general image-preparation context. Confirm the exact document and upload rules shown for your visa type in the Indonesia eVisa portal.
Does getting a Visitor Visa ensure entry?
No. The public Visitor Visa FAQ states that the entry decision remains with the immigration officer at the port of entry.
