Most common rejection reasons
- 1An unclear photo or passport pageThe e-Visa application can be rejected if the uploaded photograph or passport bio page is not clear or not as per specification. Upload a sharp, recent, front-facing photo.
Snap2Pass never edits your face. It replaces the background and crops the photo to size, nothing else.
Also worth knowing
- Online applicationApply at least 4 days before you arrive
Apply at least 4 days before arrival, with an arrival date at most 120 days ahead. Pay the fee at least 4 days before travel or the application is not processed. The fee depends on your country, plus bank charges.
