Checked: 2026-08-20
At a glance
- Check the file format first, then compare the file size with 2 MB.
- Next confirm the pixel dimensions are 413 × 531 px.
- Finally make sure you selected the face photo, not the passport page, and review blur and background problems.
-
Check the file format
Confirm that the actual file is JPEG / JPG, not only that its filename looks correct. Re-save the selected face photo when needed.
-
Check the file size
Compare the file size with 2 MB. If it is larger, export a clean copy within that limit without introducing visible blur or heavy artifacts.
-
Check the pixel dimensions
Confirm that the upload is the portrait frame 413 × 531 px. Do not stretch a different shape into the frame.
-
Check the selected file and visible quality
Make sure the selected file is the face photo rather than the passport biodata page. Then review blur, strong background shadows, and any visible edit edge.
This order covers reviewing your own file; it does not list official portal error messages.

FAQ
Does this guide list the official eVisa error messages?
No. Instead of an error-message list, it walks through the file checks in order: format, size, and pixel dimensions.
What should I check first when an upload fails?
Start with the actual file format, then compare the size with 2 MB, and then confirm the pixel frame 413 × 531 px.
Why should I check the passport file separately?
The passport biodata page is a different document from the face photo. Selecting the wrong file can make a technically valid image unsuitable for that upload field.
