Two files, two purposes

For an e-Tourist Visa, India’s portal requests the passport page containing the photograph and personal details, plus a separate applicant photograph. Supporting documents depend on the travel purpose.

A photograph that shows you clearly

The portal asks for a front-facing photograph with open eyes, a plain light background and no shadows or border. Review those details before uploading your image.

The passport page must be legible

The consular instructions specify JPEG for the photograph and PDF for the passport page. Open both files and check that names, numbers and dates are legible. Use the upload form’s current file-size limits.
