Essential Guidelines for Egypt eVisa Photos

To ensure your visa photos meet all necessary specifications, kindly follow these guidelines when capturing your image:

• Photo Backdrop - Stand in front of a plain white wall with no shadows or light glare. A pinned sheet can suffice. 
• Camera Position - Take the photo at eye level with the camera centred on your face. 
• Facial Expression - Maintain a neutral, non-smiling expression with your mouth closed.
• Gaze - Look straight into the camera with eyes fully visible. 
• Glasses - If needed, glasses may be worn but should not obscure eyes. 
• Headwear - No hats or head coverings unless required by religious mandates.
• Lighting - Position a light source in front or to the sides to illuminate your face clearly without shadows.
• Everyday Likeness - Any facial hair or eyeglasses should match your daily appearance.
• Framing - The image must show full front view of the face from top-of-forehead to bottom-of-chin.

Following these best practices will help streamline getting a properly formatted passport photo that meets all size, background, exposure, framing and appearance regulations.

Essential Tips for Infant and Child Visa Photos

Passport-size photos are required for minors of all ages. When capturing images of babies, toddlers, and young children, kindly follow these guidelines:

1. Framing – Compose an image to showcase the child’s head and shoulders at the centre, occupying majority of frame.
2. Background – Plain white backdrop without shadows, patterns, or objects. White sheet can be used.
3. Expression – Natural relaxed face with eyes open and looking towards camera.
4. Attire – Clothing should not obscure face or features. Hats and accessories should be removed.
5. Child Positioning – Awake children can stand or be seated. Infants can lay comfortably with plain white blanket underneath.
6. Additional Subjects – Only the child applying for passport/visa should appear in photograph. No parents or siblings.

Meeting general passport-size photo specifications while making some allowances for capturing infants and toddlers in safe, comfortable positions will help streamline your visa application. Re-take if the photo does not meet regulations.
