Avoid these common errors that often lead to rejection:

Uploading the wrong file to the wrong field (portrait vs. passport bio page).
Blurry, shadowed, or patterned backgrounds.
Wearing glasses, hats, or accessories that hide facial features.
Infant photos with parents’ hands or objects visible in the frame.
Use reliable tools (Photoshop, Passport Photo Maker, or online eVisa photo crop tools).
Crop to the correct 4 × 6 cm (2×2 inches) size.
Remove glare or busy backgrounds → replace with plain white.
Save final files as .jpg under 1 MB (bio page up to 2 MB).
Avoid using special characters in file names.
