United Arab Emirates
Check the current photo dimensions and file limits with ICP, GDRFA Dubai or your airline. Photo generation and export are unavailable until we verify a specific submission format.
Overview
SpecSnap provides one UAE visa guidance entry, with generation and application export unavailable until a specific submission format is verified. The audit did not establish one universal set of dimensions and file limits across UAE visa services. The previous generic size and upload range must not be treated as authority requirements.
Identify the service handling your application, then check its current photo dimensions, accepted format and file-size limits. Use a clear recent portrait with natural appearance and an unobscured face. Follow that service's background, glasses, headwear and submission instructions. Do not substitute another country's crop or assume that Emirates ID and visa requirements are interchangeable.
Issuing authorities
- ICP — federal visa services, through its service-specific checklists and digital channels.
- GDRFA Dubai — Dubai immigration services; its single-entry tourist visa card lists a personal photo without a complete numeric upload specification.
- Emirates — an airline submission channel with its own visa guidance and booking-linked workflow. It does not establish a universal rule for all UAE visas.
The official links help you find your route. SpecSnap's guidance status does not assert a mandatory original-only, commercial-photographer or on-site capture rule.
