Keep your head straight and level.
Side-facing photo
You must face the camera directly.
Photo with unnatural expression
Use a natural, neutral expression.

Background must be plain white.

FAQ

What are the Saudi eVisa photo requirements?

200 × 200 (square), 5 KB–100 KB, plain white background, taken within the last 6 months, centered with both ears and cheeks visible. The file format is not specified in the current official guidance. This app automatically creates a file that meets these conditions.

How do I create the passport Bio Page image?

Simply photograph your passport photo page (Bio Page) with your camera, or select it from your photo library. The app will automatically optimize the image (file size and readability). You can also check a final preview to ensure text is readable.

Is photo data sent to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely on your iPhone. Face detection, background correction, and image output — everything runs on-device. Your photos are never sent to any server.

Does it support e-Business or e-Medical visas?

Currently, the app supports basic Saudi eVisa use (tourism, visiting family/friends). Support for e-Business, e-Medical, and e-Conference is planned for future updates.

Does this app submit the visa application for me?

No. This app is a file preparation tool only. You need to submit your visa application yourself at visa.visitsaudi.com/. The app does not guarantee visa acceptance or approval.

When can I apply for an e-Visa?

Saudi eVisa (1 yr / 5 yr): 4–120 days before arrival. 30-day visa: 4–30 days before arrival. Your passport must be valid for 6+ months with at least 2 blank pages.

What are the size and format requirements?

200 × 200 (square) and 5 KB–100 KB. The face should occupy 70–80% of the photo. The file format is not specified in the current official guidance. This app automatically adjusts to these values.

Can I wear glasses?

The current official guidance does not specify rules for glasses. Lens glare, however, can make your eyes hard to check, so confirm how the photo looks.

How recent must the photo be?

Photos must be taken within the last 6 months. Using an older photo may result in rejection. This app recommends taking a new photo.

What are the background requirements?

A plain white or light-colored background is required. Shadows, patterns, or dark backgrounds may cause rejection. This app provides background adjustment to help meet requirements.

What are common rejection reasons?

Conditions worth checking: the size (200 × 200), a plain white background, shadows, an older photo, and face proportions. This app detects and warns about these issues.

What are the passport Bio Page image size requirements?

The passport Bio Page is uploaded as a separate image; the current official guidance does not state image values for it. This app optimizes the file size while keeping text readable.

What about children's visa photos?

The same requirements apply to children: a plain white background, facing forward, with the face clearly visible. For infants, lay the child on a white sheet and photograph from above, or use a car seat with a white cloth draped over it.
