About this photo
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia (KSA Visa platform) asks for a Saudi Visa photo of 35 by 45 mm. The upload for KSA Visa platform (ksavisa.sa) needs to be as a JPEG, no larger than 5 MB. You can take it at home on a phone: have someone stand a couple of metres away at eye level rather than holding the phone yourself. Frame it so the head takes 31.5 to 36.0 mm of the 45 mm height. A white background is accepted, as long as it is uniform and without pattern. Photo size 35 x 45 mm. The Saudi Visa photo comes back sized, with a clean background and a head-size check, before you are asked to pay.
