The person faces forward, the background matches the route requirement, and the face is clearly visible with a natural expression.
These are common reasons a photo may be rejected during a Malaysia visa application.
Malaysian authorities do not accept photos that have been digitally altered to change your appearance. Use the app for background color adjustment and brightness adjustment only.
Official guidance Malaysia eVisa Photo Requirements
JPEG format, 35×50mm, frontal, eyes open, no glasses, plain white background, no shadows, no borders. File size limits may change, so confirm the latest acceptable range on the official eVisa portal. This app automatically creates a file that meets these requirements.
Simply photograph your passport photo page (Bio Page) and any required pages with your camera, or select them from your photo library. The app can generate a Passport Bio Page PDF (under 2MB) and a Full Passport PDF (under 10MB), optimizing file size while keeping text readable. You can also check a final preview.
No. All processing happens entirely on your iPhone. Face detection, background correction, PDF assembly, and image output — everything runs on-device. Your photos are never sent to any server.
Currently, the app supports the main Malaysia routes: eVisa (tourist/short stay), ESD/MYXpats (employment pass), EMGS/Student, and MM2H/Embassy submissions. Other categories may be added in future updates.
No. This app is a file preparation tool only. You need to submit your visa application yourself on the official portal for your route (for example malaysiavisa.imi.gov.my for eVisa). The app does not guarantee visa acceptance or approval.
Application timing varies by visa category and your nationality. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months with sufficient blank pages. Always confirm the latest application window on the official portal for your route.
JPEG format. The officially confirmed eVisa dimension is 35×50mm with a white background. For the latest file size limits (such as the acceptable KB range), please confirm on the official eVisa portal, as these may change. This app automatically adjusts to the correct size.
No, wearing glasses (including sunglasses) is not allowed for Malaysia visa photos. Please remove glasses before taking the photo, even for vision correction.
Photos must be recent (taken within the last 6 months is a common guideline). Using an older photo may result in rejection. This app recommends taking a new photo.
It depends on your route. eVisa and EMGS/Student require a plain white background; ESD/MYXpats requires a light blue background. For MM2H/Embassy submissions, confirm the required background with your submission office. Shadows, patterns, or dark backgrounds may cause rejection. This app provides background adjustment to help meet requirements.
Common reasons include: wrong size for the route, incorrect background color (white vs light blue), wearing glasses, shadows, old photo, or face too small/large. This app detects and warns about these issues.
The Passport Bio Page PDF must be under 2MB, and the Full Passport PDF must be under 10MB. Text must be clearly readable. This app optimizes the file size while keeping text readable.
The same requirements apply to children: correct background for the route, facing forward, eyes open, no glasses. For infants, lay the child on a white or light blue sheet (matching the route) and photograph from above, or use a car seat with a suitable cloth draped over it.
