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:

Framing – Compose an image to showcase the child’s head and shoulders at the centre, occupying majority of frame.
Background – Plain white backdrop without shadows, patterns, or objects. White sheet can be used.
Expression – Natural relaxed face with eyes open and looking towards camera.
Attire – Clothing should not obscure face or features. Hats and accessories should be removed.
Child Positioning – Awake children can stand or be seated. Infants can lay comfortably with plain white blanket underneath.
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.
