📸 Photo Specification Details (The #1 Error Source!)

✅ Background must be pure white.
✅ Face centered, natural expression.
✅ No glasses.
✅ Ears must not be covered by hair.
✅ Taken within the last 6 months.
✅ Must be in JPG format and under 2MB.

💡 Tip: After uploading, the system will automatically match your portrait with your passport photo. If the system shows a checkmark (✓), proceed. If not, please try a different photo.

4. Common Causes of Rejection (Must Read!)

Based on actual case statistics, these are the top 5 reasons why visa applications are rejected or delayed:

❌ Reason 1: Incorrect Name (Most Common!) Even a single letter error, swapped first/last name, or an extra space will force the application into “Manual Review,” causing a status stall.
❌ Reason 2: Non-compliant Photo Resolution too low, glare on glasses, hair covering ears, or non-white backgrounds.
❌ Reason 3: Blurry Passport Scan Glare during scanning or blurry text often leads to immediate rejection.
❌ Reason 4: Mismatched Entry Port If your actual entry point differs from the one on your visa, the visa becomes invalid.
❌ Reason 5: Payment Failure If the transaction fails, the application cannot be retried. The whole process must be restarted.

5. What to do if your status is stuck in “Processing”?

You have submitted your application days ago, booked your flights, and confirmed your hotel—but when you check the portal, the status remains “Processing.” Your departure is in 48 or 24 hours. The pressure is mounting. This is not your fault, but it is your emergency.
