Preparing Your Mozambique Work eVisa Photo
Get your photo ready for a Mozambique work eVisa application quickly and correctly. Follow the official guidelines from the Serviço Nacional de Migração (SENAMI).
Official Size and Dimensions
The portal asks for an applicant-supplied recent passport-style frontal photo but does not specify its dimensions or head height[1]. A 35 by 45 millimeter crop (about 1.38 by 1.77 inches) is a common practical size.
Preparing your image to the correct proportions helps you avoid upload errors on the portal. You can use the tool above to adjust your picture easily. Always verify your final file against the latest online instructions published on the official government visa portal[1].
Digital Submission and File Formats
The portal accepts scanned documents in JPEG, PDF, or PNG formats[1]. Use one of these formats for your photo upload.
The portal does not state any specific file size limits for your uploaded photo[1]. However, keeping your file reasonably sized helps the page load faster when you submit your application materials. Make sure your digital copy is clear and readable before you attach it to the form.
Background and General Photo Style
The portal does not specify a photo background colour or dimensions[1]. A plain background can help keep the image clear.
Good lighting is essential for a clear photograph that authorities can easily review. Face a bright window or use two soft lights placed in front of you to eliminate dark shadows on your face or behind your head. Avoid harsh flash lighting that creates bright spots or washes out your skin tone.
Glasses, Headwear, and Facial Expression
The official source does not specify rules for glasses or headwear[1]. For a clear photo, make sure your eyes are visible.
The source does not specify rules for head coverings or facial expression[1].
Taking Your Photo at Home Step by Step
You can take your visa photo at home using a smartphone or a digital camera. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of trying to take a handheld selfie. Hold the camera at your exact eye level about one to one and a half meters away from your face to avoid distortion.
Stand straight and keep your shoulders level with the camera framing. Look directly at the front of the camera lens without tilting your head up or down. Take several test shots so you can choose the one with the best lighting, sharpest focus, and proper frontal pose.
Common Reasons Photos Are Refused
The source does not list photo refusal reasons or say that image quality causes delays. Check that the photo is clear before uploading it.
Make sure your face takes up a large portion of the frame in a natural frontal pose. Double-check that your digital file is saved in an accepted format like JPEG, PDF, or PNG[1]. Taking a few extra minutes to check these details will make your application process much easier.
