Mozambique eVisa Photo Requirements and Size
Get the correct photo for your Mozambique eVisa application by following simple guidelines and preparing your digital file properly.
Understanding Size and Dimensions
The portal asks for a recent passport-style frontal photo but does not publish photo dimensions[1]. A 35×45 mm crop (about 1.38×1.77 inches) is a common practical size.
The head height is not set by the authority[1]. Because of this lack of a strict rule, you can prepare a clear file using the tool above. Center your head naturally within the frame and leave a small, balanced amount of space around your shoulders and the top of your head.
Background and Image Quality
The portal asks for a recent passport-style frontal photo and accepts document uploads in JPEG, PDF, or PNG. It does not specify a background colour or photo dimensions[1]. A plain background and even lighting can help make your face clear.
Good lighting helps the system read your picture without errors. Face a bright window or use soft indoor lamps to light your face evenly. Avoid wearing clothes that blend into your background so your shoulders stand out clearly.
Facial Features and Expression
The official rules leave details about glasses unspecified[1]. If you choose to wear spectacles, make sure there is no glare on the lenses and your eyes remain fully visible. Heavy frames can sometimes obscure your face, so bare eyes are often safer.
The source does not specify rules for headwear, expression, or whether the mouth must be closed[1]. Keep your face clearly visible in the photo.
Rules for Children and Young Applicants
The portal includes additional requirements for applicants under 18[1]. If you are submitting an application for a minor, check all parts of the main portal guidelines carefully.
The authority publishes no separate infant photo framing rules[1]. For babies and young children, lay them on a plain white sheet or hold them securely against a simple background. Make sure they look toward the camera with their eyes open if possible.
Digital Submission and File Formats
You must submit your photo digitally through the official online system[1]. The platform accepts uploads in JPEG, PDF, or PNG formats[1]. Check your file format before you upload to avoid rejection errors by the portal software.
There are no strict file size limits published by the authority[1]. You can use the tool above to crop your image to the right dimensions and save it in a supported format. This helps you get your picture ready quickly.
Steps to Take Your Photo at Home
Taking your own picture at home is easy if you follow a few basic steps. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera or phone lens. Keep the camera at your exact eye level so your face does not look distorted.
Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of using arm's length selfies. Selfies often distort facial features and make your head look too large. Look straight into the lens and keep your shoulders square to the camera.
