Gabon e-Visa Photo Size and Guidelines

The Gabon e-Visa platform lists photo requirements for the application.

Official Photo Size

The Direction Générale de la Documentation et de l’Immigration specifies a photo size of 35 × 45 mm (about 1.38 × 1.77 in)[1]. Keep these proportions when preparing the digital image.

The authority does not set a head-height requirement for this application[1]. Center your face in the frame and keep it fully visible.

Background and Lighting Rules

The official platform requires a recent colour photo without overexposure, underexposure, or shadows on the face or background[1]. Use even lighting to help avoid these problems.

The guidelines do not specify a background colour[1]. A plain background may help keep attention on your face.

Glasses, Headwear, and Facial Expressions

The official source does not specify whether glasses are allowed[1]. If you wear them, check that glare or frames do not obscure your eyes.

The issuing authority does not specify rules for headwear, facial expression, or mouth position[1].

Digital Submission and File Limits

You must upload a colour photo taken within the previous six months[1].

The platform does not state pixel dimensions or file-size limits[1].

Rules for Children and Infants

The official platform does not specify separate photo rules for infants or children[1]. If you take a child’s photo at home, keep the child safe and make sure the face is visible.

Taking Your Photo at Home

Face a window for even light. Ask someone to take the picture so you do not need to hold the camera yourself.

Keep the camera at eye level. You can use the tool above to crop the photo to 35 × 45 mm before submitting it.

Preventing Photo Refusals

The official platform requires a photo without shadows on the face or background[1]. Check the photo for shadows before uploading it.

The platform requires a photo taken within the previous six months[1].

Checking Your Crop and Final Details

Before uploading the file, check that your face is fully visible in the crop.

Check that the photo’s colours look natural and that the face is clearly visible.
