Note: Visit Saudi tourist eVisa upload: 200 × 200 px, 5–100 KB. This app exports JPEG. For other Saudi visa routes, follow the selected portal instructions; keep your original photo
Dimensions
- Digital upload: exactly 200 × 200 px, square.
- File range: 5–100 KB. SpecSnap exports JPEG; the public photo-specification page does not list every accepted file format.
- This preset prepares the upload for visa.visitsaudi.com. It does not prepare a printed photo or establish requirements for KSA Visa, an embassy, work, family-visit or other Saudi application routes. Follow the uploader and checklist for the route you actually use.
Head position
- The portal calls for a centred close-up including the top of the shoulders, with the face occupying 70%–80% of the frame.
- Show the full face, chin to crown and both sides; leave room for hair without shrinking the face unnecessarily.
- Face the camera squarely with both eyes and facial features visible. The app's eye-line bands are crop targets, not a separately published portal measurement.
- The portal also includes inch-based wording; it does not provide a usable print size for this digital preset.
Background
- Plain white, with no pattern or shadows.
- Only the applicant: no other people or objects.
Expression
- Look directly at the camera with a clear, unobscured face and eyes.
- Use a neutral expression and closed mouth as practical capture guidance; the reviewed photo page does not state a separate numerical expression rule.
Accessories
- Headwear is generally disallowed, with exceptions particularly for religious reasons. Keep the face visible from chin to forehead without shadows.
- Avoid glasses glare, tinted lenses and anything obscuring the eyes. Removing glasses is practical capture advice, not a newly verified blanket glasses ban on this page.
Other rules
- Use a photo taken within the last six months that reflects current appearance.
- Keep natural appearance and the original photo. The reviewed page does not establish a blanket software-processing ban or approval of every edit; avoid filters and identity-changing retouching.
- SpecSnap can prepare this upload, but the portal decides acceptance. Dimensions and file size do not verify recency, identity or every photo requirement.
Notes
- A U.S. passport/visa square is not interchangeable: its pixel dimensions and framing differ.
- Both file bounds matter. If a JPEG falls below the minimum, use a sharper original with more detail. Do not pad the file or add artificial noise.
- Check the current instructions in your chosen application portal before uploading. This preset stays scoped to Visit Saudi tourist eVisa; no requirements for another Saudi route are inferred from it.
