🇳🇬 Nigeria e-Visa Photo

We check one selfie against every photo requirement listed on this page.

Nigeria e-Visa Photo: This authority has not published a photo specification, so there was nothing to check the file against and no target size to fit it to.

Nigeria's immigration service asks for recent passport-size photographs and publishes nothing further: no dimensions, background colour, pixel size, file format or size limit.

Use this page only for Nigeria e-Visa Photo. Similar applications can use a different submission method, size or file limit. Why this rule has its own page

Upload one clear, recent photo

A phone photo is fine. Face the camera, use even light and keep your full head and shoulders in frame.

For photos you upload, AI generation starts automatically when this rule cannot be met in the browser; photos taken with the camera here are only sent if you start it yourself. Either way the optimized photo is uploaded for processing — compare the generated face with the original before use.Privacy policy

Note: Nigeria's immigration service asks for recent passport-size photographs and publishes nothing further: no dimensions, background colour, pixel size, file format or size limit. Their own wording implies more than one photo without stating how many, and it does not say what recent means either. Because nothing is quantified, this page cannot check a photo against a measurement; a plain, evenly lit background and a standard passport format are the safest starting point, and the visa category you apply under may add its own requirements.

Common rejection reasons

Shadows on the background

Furniture or shadows behind you are the top rejection cause. We detect them before you submit.

HEIC from iPhone

Many systems only accept JPEG. iPhone photos are HEIC by default — we convert automatically.

Face too close or too far

Head size must sit in an exact range. We position it precisely, no guessing.
