Questions

What are the Japan eVISA photo requirements?

Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the eVISA photo must be taken within the last six months, against a plain, untextured background, with the entire face clearly centered. The file can be JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP or HEIC, up to 2 MB is recommended, and it must fit inside the red frame on the upload screen.

What are the Japan visa photo dimensions?

Japanese consulates in the U.S. ask for 35 × 45 mm (width × height, about 1.4 × 1.8 inches), with the head 32 to 36 mm from the top to the chin. The eVISA site gives no pixel size; our file is 413 × 531, a 35 × 45 mm photo at 300 dpi.

Do Americans need a visa for Japan?

Not for a short tourist trip: U.S. citizens are visa-exempt. The eVISA is for people of other nationalities who live in the U.S. and need a visa, such as many green card holders and visa holders.

Can I wear glasses?

The eVISA FAQ doesn't forbid them, but glare makes a face hard to check. Take them off if you can: our check can't see glasses yet.

My facial photo won't upload. What should I check?

The eVISA FAQ asks for a JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP or HEIC file, up to 2 MB, that fits inside the red frame. Our JPEG is well under 2 MB; place your face inside the frame when the upload screen shows it.

Do you edit or retouch my photo?

No. The U.S. Department of State says not to change your photo using computer software, phone apps or filters. We only check your photo and crop it to the official size. We never smooth skin, change the background or alter your face.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Your photo is checked and prepared on your own phone or computer. It is never uploaded to our servers.
