What’s a Visa Photo?

It’s more than a headshot — it’s your biometric identity for international travel. Egyptian authorities use this image to verify who you are. If your photo doesn’t match the embassy’s requirements, your visa can be delayed or even denied.

PhotoGov takes that risk away — you get a verified photo without the guesswork.

Tips & Recommendations

Clean your phone camera before taking a shot

Don’t use filters or smoothing apps

Make sure your shoulders are visible

Avoid busy backgrounds and patterned walls

Try a few times — our app shows you which one works best

Photo Validity & Appearance Changes

Your Egypt visa photo must be recent, usually taken within the last 6 months. If your appearance has changed significantly (new beard, haircut, weight change), it’s safest to upload a new photo.

Features of PhotoGov

Our online passport photo tool offers several features to help you create the perfect photo:

Crop

Our in-built cropping feature allows you to trim new visa photos and ensure that they don’t have uneven edges. This allows you to neaten up your picture and ensure it’s the proper size for your visa.

Resize

You can also resize your picture as needed through PhotoGov, meaning that the end result will be a perfectly proportioned image that will fit just right into your visa. Additionally, you don’t need to worry about stretching or squishing the image and ruining the quality.

Background removal

If you can’t find a neutral background against which you can take a satisfactory picture, don’t worry; we have a background removal tool that can help you achieve the same results.

Auto-adjustment

With the click of a button, you can have our auto-adjustment tool immediately optimize your image to meet brightness, color, and contrast standards.
