This article outlines the acceptable standards for passport images, including format, size, and clarity, and discusses common pitfalls that can lead to application delays or rejections. To get a visa/eVisa, all foreigners need to submit certain documents and answer a few questions. Here’s what applicants for an Egyptian eVisa need to know about the documents to be submitted. Have passport ready for application. The passport is an internationally recognized identity document as it recognizes a person as a subject of the nation. Foreigners who wish to visit Egypt need a legally valid passport. The passport should be valid for at least six months from the date of arrival in Egypt. As per the guidelines for an Egyptian visa, the passports of the applicants should have at least three blank pages wherein the visa can be stamped. Foreign nationals who are eligible for an eVisa are required to upload the pages of their passport during the online application process.
Applicants should be careful to upload a clear image of the passport page with the correct information. Errors in the images or uploading the wrong pages can delay the eVisa. Some items needed for eVisa include Credit card for payment, Email address to receive doc, and Passport details. Applicants can take a picture of the passport information pages using their cell phones. However, the images need to be clear and not blurry. The images must be of high quality, and all the information should be clearly visible and readable. Unclear images or information can lead to delays in visa processing or may result in a visa denial. The best way to get a digital copy of the pages without compromising on clarity will be to get them scanned using a scanner. Make sure to take a color scan of the passport pages.
There are a few guidelines to be followed while uploading the passport pages for getting an Egyptian visa. Blurry images, images that show the wrong passport page, pixelated images, passport images that show an expired passport, blank images, and images showing only the details page can all lead to rejection of the visa application. Applicants should ensure their documents are formatted correctly, with no spaces or special characters in file names. Natvisa provides assistance to ensure all images meet the strict guidelines set by Egyptian authorities, helping to streamline the application process for a hassle-free experience.
