Saudi visa photo rules

Saudi Arabia's unified visa platform, ksavisa.sa, covers tourist, business, medical, family visit and other visas. Its guidance asks for a 35 × 45 mm photo with a plain background, facing the camera with the head straight, a neutral expression and the mouth closed, even light with no shadows, and suitable clothes. It accepts JPG and PNG files under 5 MB.

The platform's own cropper trims uploads to a 3:4 shape, a little narrower than 35 × 45, so leave some space at the sides. Paper applications through the Saudi Embassy in the United States ask for 2 × 2 inches, with a white background and no exceptions.

The Visit Saudi eVisa page asks for a 200 × 200 pixel photo of 5 to 100 KB, which this card doesn't make. Everything here runs in your browser, and we can't promise acceptance.

What you can do

  • 35 × 45 mm for the KSA Visa platform
  • 2 × 2 inches for paper applications
  • A file under 5 MB
  • Warnings for a tilted or turned head
