Are There Any UAE E-visa Photo Requirements for Swedish Citizens?

Yes. Swedish citizens applying for a UAE e-Visa must submit a passport-style photograph that meets the UAE's official photo requirements. Providing a clear, compliant image helps prevent delays or rejection during the visa application process.

UAE e-Visa photo requirements

Your photo should meet the following general standards:

Be a recent, color photograph taken within the last six months.
Use a plain white background with no shadows, patterns, or distracting objects.
Show your full face centered in the frame, looking directly at the camera.
Maintain a neutral facial expression with both eyes open and your mouth closed.
Ensure the image is sharp, well-lit, and high resolution.
Do not wear hats or head coverings unless they are worn for religious purposes. Even then, your full facial features must remain clearly visible.
Avoid sunglasses or tinted glasses that obscure your eyes.

Photo size and quality

The recommended photo size is 4.3 cm × 5.5 cm, similar to a standard passport photo. If you're uploading a digital image as part of your online application, make sure the file is clear, correctly cropped, and meets the format and file size requirements specified during the application process.

Blurry images, poor lighting, heavily edited photos, or pictures with incorrect backgrounds may lead to processing delays or requests to resubmit your application.

Tips before submitting your application

Before uploading your photo:

Check that your passport photo is recent.
Verify the image meets all technical requirements.
Ensure your face is fully visible and unobstructed.
Review the uploaded image carefully before completing your application.

Taking a few extra minutes to confirm your photo complies with the requirements can help your UAE e-Visa application proceed more smoothly.
