Most common rejection reasons

  1. 1
    A photo that does not follow your mission's photo instructions
    The Russian embassy in Poland states that an application with a photo outside its requirements is considered incomplete; read the photo page of the mission you apply to.

Snap2Pass never edits your face. It replaces the background and crops the photo to size, nothing else.

Also worth knowing

  • Online application
    The e-visa takes two JPEG files

    The unified e-visa application asks for a JPEG of your face and a JPEG of your passport data page, uploaded in your personal account. The face photo must show you alone, with no other people or objects visible.

  • Paperwork
    Printed application: one photo on the form

    The Russian embassy in Poland asks for one recent color photo, printed on photographic paper and stuck on the visa application form. Other missions and visa application centres set their own rules, so check the one you apply to.
