The official Georgia e-Visa portal puts its photo rules in the FAQ, and they are stricter on the source of the picture than on its size: the photo must be taken within 6 months of the application and reflect your current appearance, directly facing the camera («profile shots will not be accepted»), with the head between 50 % and 70 % of the image's total height — from the top of the head, including the hair, to the bottom of the chin. A hat or head covering is allowed only if worn daily for religious purposes, with the full face visible and the covering neither hiding the hairline nor casting shadows.
The applicant must be alone in the picture — for a child, nothing used to support the child, not even a parent's arms or hands, may be in the frame. The portal states what it does not accept: photos copied or digitally scanned from a driving licence or other official documents, snapshots, magazine photos, low-resolution vending-machine photos, mobile-device photos and full-length photos.
The photo is one of the three things you need for the e-visa — a valid passport (valid at least 3 months after the visa, with 2 free pages, issued within the previous 10 years), the photo and a credit or debit card — and every traveller, whatever the age, needs a separate e-visa; a decision takes not less than 5 working days and the visa fee is not refundable.
Examples and mistakes
A photo that will be accepted, next to the six most common reasons Georgia visa photos get rejected.
Typical reasons a photo is rejected under the rules Official e-Visa portal of Georgia (evisa.gov.ge) publishes: what is wrong and what to change.
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| A photo copied or scanned from a driving licence or other official document, a snapshot, a magazine photo, a low-resolution vending-machine photo, a mobile-device photo or a full-length photo | Use a new, high-quality, head-and-shoulders portrait taken for the visa. |
| A profile shot, or a head outside 50–70 % of the image height | Face the camera directly with the head from the hair to the chin at 50–70 % of the height. |
| A photo older than 6 months or one that does not reflect the current appearance | Take a new photo within the 6 months before applying. |
| A hat or head covering without daily religious use, or one that hides the hairline or casts shadows; another person or an arm supporting a child in the frame | Remove the covering (or keep a daily religious one with the full face visible) and photograph the applicant alone. |
How to take it
Background: plain light
The tool puts in the required background. Stand half a metre from a plain light wall, face a window and shoot without flash — then there are no shadows on your face or on the wall.
Head: 50–70 % of the photo height
Camera at eye level, about a metre away; head and shoulders in the shot. The tool crops it to 35 × 45 mm.
Clear lenses only, no glare
If you wear glasses, check the shot: no glare on the lenses, eyes clearly visible.
Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open
Look straight into the lens with your head level; keep hair away from your eyes and eyebrows.
An ordinary selfie will do: we fix the background, light and framing ourselves — to this document's rules. The preview is free.
Head straightHold the phone at eye level and your head straightens by itself.
Face uncoveredMove your hair away so your eyes and eyebrows show.
No glare on glassesStand so that no light reflects in the lenses.Printing and submission

Questions
A photo taken within 6 months, directly facing the camera, with the head between 50 % and 70 % of the image height, no hat except daily religious headwear with the full face visible, only the applicant in the picture, and not a snapshot, mobile-device photo, vending-machine photo or a scan of another document.
Between 50 % and 70 % of the image's total height, measured from the top of the head including the hair to the bottom of the chin.
The FAQ says snapshots and mobile-device photos are not acceptable, nor photos copied or scanned from official documents or low-resolution vending-machine photos.
Yes: each traveller, whatever the age, obtains a separate e-visa; the child must be the only person in the photo and nothing supporting the child, including a parent's arms or hands, may be in the frame.
The recommended size for the Georgia visa photo is 35 × 45 mm. The head occupies 50–70% of the photo height.
Plain light background without textures, shadows, or foreign objects. The wall should be evenly lit, with no shadow around the head and no pattern. You don’t need a studio backdrop: the tool sets the right background colour.
Consulates usually ask for a photo taken within the last six months, sometimes within three. Take a new one that looks like you today.
Often yes, but not always: tourist, student, work and transit visas can have different size or background rules. Compare the requirements of each Georgia visa — if they match, one photo will do.
We refund the payment in full. Email us within 14 days of purchase with your order number and the consulate’s rejection notice.
Eyes must be fully visible; no tinted lenses or strong reflections. If you keep them on, tilt them slightly downwards by lifting the arms a little above your ears: this usually moves reflections of a window or lamp off the lenses.
