Frequently asked questions

What format, size, and file limit apply to a Tanzania eVisa face photo?

The official guidance confirms 45 x 35 mm or less, JPG / JPEG, and within 500 KB. Pixel dimensions, DPI, face guides, and background color are not specified.

What should I check if the photo cannot be uploaded?

The official guidance requires a photo of 35×45 mm or smaller, in JPG/JPEG format, and no larger than 500 KB. Photos straight from a smartphone can exceed the file-size limit, so the Tool outputs a JPEG within this limit. If the upload still fails after checking the format and file size, confirm the conditions currently accepted by the official portal before submission.

What if the application portal shows updated conditions?

Check the current application screen or official guidance and confirm the current conditions before submission.
