India e-Visa / e-VoA

Dimensions

• Output: 600 x 600 px square JPEG for digital upload
• Official aspect ratio: Height and width must be equal
• File size: Minimum 10 KB, maximum 1 MB
• Print size: Not applicable to this digital upload preset
• The current public instructions do not specify numeric pixel dimensions. The 600 x 600 px output is a practical app choice, not an official fixed pixel size.

Head position

• Show the full face from the front, centred within the frame.
• Include the entire head from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin.
• The app uses a 50%-69% head-height range and 56%-69% eye-line range as crop guidance. The public eVisa instructions do not publish these numeric bands.

Background

• Use a plain light-coloured or white background.
• There must be no shadows on the face or background, and no borders.

Expression

• Face the camera directly with both eyes open.
• Use a neutral expression so the face remains clearly visible.

Accessories

• Spectacles: Not permitted; remove glasses before taking the photo.
• Keep the full face visible, following the application portal's instructions.

Other rules

• Upload a recent, clear, front-facing photograph of the applicant.
• The portrait and the scanned passport bio page are separate uploads with different requirements. Do not apply the passport-page PDF limits to the JPEG.
• Check the current application instructions before submission.

Notes

• This preset is for the Indian eVisa portal, including its e-Tourist and e-Business routes, rather than the regular visa/printed photo route.
• The regular India Visa preset retains its separate 300 KB limit and print option. Choose the preset that matches the application channel.
• Cropping checks do not verify glasses, shadows, recency or authority acceptance.
