Expression
Full face, front view, eyes open; center the head within the frame showing the full head from top of hair to bottom of chin. No explicit 'neutral expression/mouth closed' rule is stated for this document the way there is for the passport photo, but is assumed here for compliance safety.

File size
10–300 KB

Good to know

  • File-size limit used here (10-300KB) is the STRICTER of two genuinely different official figures found on sibling pages of the same domain (Regular Visa: 10-300KB; e-Visa: 10KB-1MB) — chosen deliberately as the safer, more broadly-compliant default, since a photo meeting the 300KB cap also satisfies the more permissive e-Visa cap.
