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 35 × 45 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 413 × 531 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
Sri Lanka-specific things to know
- For the online ETA there is nothing to upload: do not pay a third party for «visa photos» for it. The photograph matters only on the paper routes through an embassy.
- The embassy writes the size in two orders — 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm and 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm — which is one print (35 × 45 mm). It also accepts 2 × 2 inches for the two-photo list.
- The number differs by list: one photograph for the tourist visa at the embassy, two when the consulate files the ETA for you.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.
10 × 15 cm · 4 × 6″Photos: 8 (4 × 2)

Where these numbers come from
Source: Department of Immigration and Emigration of Sri Lanka (ETA) and the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi. Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.
What the source confirms
- eta.gov.lk (information page): «The ETA is issued through an on-line system. No passport copies, documents or photographs are required. There is no requirement to endorse the ETA on the passport.» The page refers to the ETA taking effect on 1 January 2012, so it is an older information page.
- Embassy of Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi, tourist visa through the embassy (for applicants unable to use the ETA system): Form B, a passport valid at least six months with a blank page, and a «recently taken color photograph (passport size 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm)»; applications at least one month before the visit.
- Same embassy, if the consulate submits the ETA online for you: the ETA application form, the original passport, copies of the face page and the UAE residence visa, «Two recent passport-size photographs (Colour, 3.5 cm x 4.5cm or 2” x 2”)», a return air ticket and proof of hotel accommodation or an invitation; processing 1–2 business days (conditions apply).
- Same embassy, notice: the ETA is processed free of charge for nationals of 40 listed countries and for the Maldives, Seychelles and Singapore, for a tourist visa valid 30 days with double entry; ETA fees paid before 25 May 2026 are non-refundable.
