Unified e-Visa, Regular Visa, the face photo, the passport page, the physical print, and category documents each have their own rules.
- Unified e-Visa face photo: JPEG, 35:45, within 6 months, plain light-colored background, face occupancy 70–80%.
- Unified e-Visa passport data page: JPEG; upload as JPEG — the exact pixel size, byte limit, and edit permissions are confirmed on the application screen.
- Regular Visa physical photo: 35 × 45 mm; official pages state the photo count differently, so check the current checklist for your category.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Unified e-Visa face-photo requirements?
JPEG, 35:45 aspect, within 6 months, plain light-colored background, and face occupancy 70–80%. Exact upload limits are confirmed on the logged-in application screen.
Is the passport data page the same as the face photo?
No. The Unified e-Visa uses separate JPEG files for the face photo and passport data page.
Does a Regular Visa require one photo or two?
The official central page contains both a common one-photo line and category-specific two-photo lines. The number is not one fixed value — it depends on your category and nationality/residence, and only the current checklist of the embassy or visa centre that handles your application settles it.
Can I use the Regular Visa 35×45mm rule as an online e-Visa pixel rule?
No. 35×45mm is the printed-photo size for the Regular Visa. The Unified e-Visa has its own digital image rules.
Does this guide guarantee acceptance?
No. It organizes route-specific official guidance. Re-check the current official instructions before upload or physical submission.
