What is the Cambodia eVisa photo checklist for US citizens?
You need one photo, and it has to clear twelve checks. The six things to do: use a plain white background, shoot in even daylight, keep a neutral expression, center your head with your full face visible, save a JPEG under 2 MB at 600×600 pixels or larger, and use a photo taken within the last 6 months. The six things to avoid: no glasses of any kind, no smile, no hat or non-religious head covering, no shadow behind your head, no off-white or colored wall, and no filters, beauty smoothing, or portrait blur. Run all twelve against your shot before you upload and you sidestep the most common reason an American application loses a day.
Punti chiave
- You need exactly one photo for the Cambodia eVisa — a single recent, passport-style headshot, not the two prints a US passport renewal asks for.
- The six dos: a plain white background, even daylight, a neutral expression, a centered head with your full face visible, a JPEG under 2 MB at 600×600 pixels or larger, and a photo taken in the last 6 months.
- The six don'ts: no glasses, no smile, no hat, no shadow behind your head, no off-white or colored wall, and no filters, beauty smoothing, or portrait blur.
- Run the 12 checks against your shot before you upload — almost every flagged American photo trips on a single item from this list, and catching it at home saves you a round-trip to your inbox.
- If a photo is flagged anyway, you get a clear email listing the fix, free resubmission is included, and the 3-business-day clock keeps running once you reply.
One photo, twelve checks — run this before you upload
So here is the list: twelve checks, six dos and six don'ts, written as a checklist you run against your shot at the kitchen window. Tick all twelve and the photo clears on the first try. Miss one and your file bounces back to your inbox for a retake. When your photo passes, you can apply in a few minutes. For the full specification behind these checks — dimensions, file size, the lot — start with our Cambodia eVisa photo requirements for US citizens guide.
The 6 dos: what every compliant photo has
- Do use a plain white background. White or off-white interior wall, a closed white door, or a white sheet pinned flat. Nothing behind your head — no furniture, no doorframe, no poster.
- Do shoot in even daylight. Face a window so light lands on your face from the front or the side. Mid-morning or mid-afternoon gives the cleanest, most natural color.
- Do keep a neutral expression. Mouth closed, lips relaxed, eyes open and looking at the lens. The face should look calm and ordinary, not posed.
- Do center your head with your full face visible. Both ears and the full outline of your face in frame, a little space above your hair, hair tucked back if it crosses your face.
- Do save a JPEG under 2 MB, 600×600 pixels or larger, roughly square. The validator reads the digital file by pixels and file size, so those are the numbers that count.
- Do use a photo taken in the last 6 months. It has to look like you as you are now — an older shot that no longer matches your current face fails the recency check.
The two that catch Americans off guard are the file checks at the bottom. Modern iPhones save in Apple's HEIC format by default, and the form wants a standard JPEG; an uncropped camera original can also blow past the 2 MB limit before you trim it. Both are quick fixes in the Photos app. Our deep dive on Cambodia eVisa photo size and file format walks through the pixel math and the JPEG-versus-HEIC conversion step by step.
The 6 don'ts: what gets a photo flagged
- Don't wear glasses. Any frames at all — thin wire ones, reading glasses, anything. There is no medical exemption in the current spec, so take them off for the shot and put them straight back on.
- Don't smile. Even a slight, closed-mouth smile reads as an expression flag. Keep the face neutral and relaxed; no teeth, no grin, and no exaggerated serious look either.
- Don't wear a hat or non-religious head covering. Caps, beanies, and hoods are out. Daily religious head coverings are allowed, but your full face from chin to forehead must stay visible.
- Don't cast a shadow behind your head. Standing pressed against the wall, or lighting from one harsh side, throws a shadow the validator reads as a second tone. Step about two feet off the wall.
Domande frequenti
How many photos do I need for the Cambodia eVisa?
One. The Cambodia eVisa requires a single recent passport-style photo, uploaded as a digital file — not the two physical prints a US passport renewal asks for, and not a separate photo per visa type. One clean headshot that clears the twelve-point checklist is all you submit.
What is the Cambodia eVisa photo checklist for US citizens?
Six dos and six don'ts. Do use a plain white background, even daylight, a neutral expression, a centered head with your full face visible, a JPEG under 2 MB at 600×600 pixels or larger, and a photo taken in the last 6 months. Don't wear glasses, smile, wear a hat, cast a shadow behind your head, use an off-white wall, or apply filters or blur. Run all twelve against your shot before you upload.
What is the most common reason a Cambodia eVisa photo gets flagged?
A single missed item from the checklist — most often glasses left on, a slight smile, or an off-white wall caused by warm indoor lighting. Almost every flagged American photo trips on one check, not several, which is exactly why running the twelve-point pass before you upload catches the problem cheaply at home.
Posso indossare gli occhiali nella foto per il visto elettronico per la Cambogia?
No. Glasses of any kind must come off, including thin frames and reading glasses, and there is no medical exemption in the current spec. Take the photo without them and put them back on afterward. Give your eyes a second to settle so they look open and natural rather than squinting, since a squint can read as a closed-eye flag.
Lo sfondo della foto per il visto elettronico per la Cambogia deve essere bianco?
It must be plain and light — white or off-white, with no patterns, furniture, or doorframes behind you. The catch is lighting: a white wall shot under warm evening light reads cream and gets flagged. Shoot in daytime with natural light and stand about two feet from the wall so you do not cast a shadow onto it.
What file format and size does the Cambodia eVisa photo need to be?
A JPEG under 2 MB, ideally 600×600 pixels or larger and roughly square. The application reads the file by its pixels and size, not a printed inch measurement. Avoid HEIC, the iPhone default, and PNG — convert to JPEG before you upload, which you can do by cropping in the Photos app or setting the camera to Most Compatible.
