Do not confuse it with another Botswana document
Botswana does not use one frame for everything. This page is about visa — 30 × 40 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 30 × 40 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 354 × 472 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Botswana-specific things to know
- Botswana asks for two recent coloured passport-size photos for the visa and says nothing about size or background.

What the source confirms
- Government of Botswana, «Visa Application – Tourism Visa» (Department of Immigration and Citizenship): the visa is issued to people who visit Botswana for recreational purposes; all non-citizens from countries that require a visa to enter Botswana as tourists are eligible; the service is obtained online at the eVisa portal or at any immigration office, Botswana embassy or consulate by filling and submitting Form 1 in person.
- Same page, the supporting documents: a certified copy of pages 1 and 2 of the passport showing a validity of not less than six months; two recent coloured passport size photos; a covering letter indicating the reasons for the visit; a flight itinerary and accommodation bookings; a re-entry permit to the country where the applicant is ordinarily resident, if required by that country; a trip itinerary; the intent to depart Botswana after the trip; for the online visa the required documents are saved as one PDF document.
- Same page, the outcome: the result is checked after seven to fourteen working days at the office where the application was submitted, an approval or rejection letter is sent there or accessed in the eVisa portal; an approved visa is printed at that office, or the applicant can travel with the approval letter as proof of a visa and the visa is printed at the airport or the immigration port of entry.
