Frequently asked questions
What size is the Pakistan Online Visa photo?
For Regular POVS, the official guidance lists 35 × 45 mm, 6 months, plain-white, and face occupancy 70–80%. The official guidance does not publish the digital pixel size or the file-size limit.
Is there one maximum file size?
No. The official pages show different upload limits, so no single number is presented as the rule.
Can I upload a passport page as the applicant photo?
No. The applicant photo and passport bio-data page are separate files. Passport formats are JPEG / JPG / PNG / PDF; its file-size and format limits are not published.
Does VPA live capture mean I need a prepared JPEG?
No. VPA live photograph / facial liveness is an app-managed flow, not an external prepared-photo requirement.
Do Guangzhou or Chengdu rules apply to every Pakistan application?
No. Guangzhou and Chengdu 200KB/original-only evidence is mission-scoped and is not a Pakistan-wide limit.
