Common reasons India Visa photos get rejected
Avoid these mistakes to make sure your photo is accepted first time.
- Photo is not square (51×51 mm, 2×2 inches) — India visa requires a square format. This is the most common mistake, often made by applicants who use passport photo specs from other countries.
- Background contains any colour, gradient, or shadow — must be pure white with no texture or variation.
- Facial expression is not neutral or mouth is open — the portal requires a calm, neutral expression with the mouth fully closed.
- Photo quality is too low — must be at least 350×350 px, under 1 MB, with no pixelation or blurring.
Frequently asked questions
- What size photo is required for an India visa?
- India visa photos must be 51×51 mm (2×2 inches), square format. For e-Visa digital upload, the file must be a JPEG between 10 KB and 1 MB, at least 350×350 pixels. Your head must fill 80–85% of the frame from chin to crown.
- Is the India visa photo the same size as the Indian passport photo?
- The printed visa photo is 51×51 mm — the same square format as the print passport photo. However, the Passport Seva Portal digital upload for passports uses a different non-square format (630×810 px). For visa applications, the square 51×51 mm format is always correct.
- Can I submit a digital photo for my India visa application?
- Yes. For e-Visa applications, you upload a digital JPEG photo directly to the portal. It must be between 10 KB and 1 MB, at least 350×350 px, and meet all background, expression, and head-size requirements.
- What background colour is required for India visa photos?
- Plain white only. Cream, off-white, ivory, or light grey will cause rejection. The background must be uniform with no shadows, gradients, or texture.
