Quick check

What Visitor Visa / eVOA covers

The Visitor Visa information page describes a single-entry visa for 30 days of stay with purposes such as tourism, government visit, business meeting, goods purchasing, or transit. It also lists the required documents for that request.

Where mistakes happen

  • Using an eVOA checklist for a long-stay or work-related route.
  • Assuming a photo size from another country visa applies to Indonesia.
  • Ignoring the upload field because a different help block showed another file limit.
  • Treating file preparation as application advice.

Keep the app role narrow

Indonesia Visa Photo helps create and check the image files used before upload. It does not submit the application, judge eligibility, contact immigration, or change the outcome of an application.

Common Indonesia eVisa / eVOA Upload Mistakes to Avoid

Many Indonesia eVisa / eVOA uploads are slowed down by avoidable file errors. Check these points before you submit:

Mixing up the 200KB and 2MB limits

Different screens show different maximum sizes. Over-compressing to fit 200KB can make the face or MRZ unreadable, while trusting the 2MB hint may still get the file rejected by the upload field.

Glare across the passport MRZ or photo

Reflections on the machine-readable zone or the photo field stop the data from being read. Photograph the bio page in flat, even light without flash.

Wrong photo dimensions

The registration screen asks for a 4 x 6 cm photo at least 400 x 600 px. A face that is too large, too small, or the wrong aspect ratio can be rejected.

Cropped or partial passport page

Cutting off a corner, the MRZ, or the photo field means the document cannot be verified. Keep the full bio page inside the frame.

Non-neutral background or shadows

Patterned walls, strong side light, or shadows across the face obscure facial features. Use a plain light background lit evenly from the front.

Wrong format or heavy compression artifacts

Saving as HEIC or a format the portal does not accept, or JPEG quality so low the face looks blocky, causes rejection. Export as JPG/JPEG/PNG.

Why Use the Indonesia Visa Photo App?

Fit the portal file-size field

Check and resize the face photo and passport image so they meet the size shown on your application screen, without over-compressing until the text blurs.

Frame the full passport bio page

Crop the page precisely so the MRZ, photo, and all text fields stay inside the frame and remain readable after export.

On-device processing for privacy

Your photos stay on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded to a server while you prepare the files.

Export in the accepted formats

Output JPG/JPEG/PNG at the 4 x 6 cm / 400 x 600 px guidance so the file matches what the registration screen expects.

Note: shoumei.org is an independent helper tool that prepares image files only. It does not submit Indonesia visa applications and does not guarantee acceptance, visa issuance, or entry. Always confirm the latest requirements on the official Indonesia eVisa portal.

FAQ

Can I use these guides for work or long-stay visas?

Use them only as general image-preparation context. Confirm the exact document and upload rules shown for your visa type in the Indonesia eVisa portal.

Does getting a Visitor Visa ensure entry?

No. The public Visitor Visa FAQ states that the entry decision remains with the immigration officer at the port of entry.
