Tips for your Saudi e-visa photo

  • Square, 200 × 200 pixels, 5–100 KB.
  • Face fills 70–80% of the photo.
  • Religious head covering is allowed if the whole face shows.
  • Stand in front of a plain, light wall, a step away from it so no shadow falls behind you.
  • Face a window so light falls evenly on both sides of your face.
  • Ask someone to take the photo about 1.5 m away, at your eye level, with space above your head.
