What this guide keeps separate

Route-aware requirements

Regular POVS is not silently substituted for VPA, mobile, or mission routes.

Separate artifacts

Applicant photo, passport bio-data page, and supporting documents remain separate files.

Conflicts stay visible

Official upload surfaces conflict on bytes and legacy pixels, so no single global limit is invented.

Application route overview

The values below are projected from Pakistan RequirementRecords and the route resolver. The country name alone is not a universal upload validator.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the Pakistan Online Visa photo?

The regular POVS record projects 35 × 45 mm, 6 months, plain-white, and face occupancy 70–80%. The official digital pixel and byte contract is not resolved.

Is there one maximum file size?

No single Regular POVS value is asserted. Public surfaces conflict, so the projection reports CONFLICT rather than choosing a number.

Can I upload a passport page as the applicant photo?

No. The applicant photo and passport bio-data page are separate artifacts. Passport formats are JPEG / JPG / PNG / PDF; its byte and validator limits remain unknown.

Does VPA live capture mean I need a prepared JPEG?

No. VPA live photograph / facial liveness is an app-managed flow, not an external prepared-photo requirement.

Do Guangzhou or Chengdu rules apply to every Pakistan application?

No. Guangzhou and Chengdu 200KB/original-only evidence is mission-scoped and is not a Pakistan-wide limit.
