According to the "South Africa Visa" website, the South Africa eVisa was launched in February 2022 for travellers from 14 countries. Therefore, if you are from the above 14 countries (check it on the website) and have a valid passport, then you are eligible to apply for the visa online. You can fill in the eVisa for South Africa application form, upload related supporting documentation, pay the fee and receive your electronic visa by email. In addition, if you want to apply for a South Africa visa, you need to prepare the required documents well, such as your passport, completed Form BI-84, payment of the prescribed fee, passport photographs, etc.
Before submitting the application, it is necessary for you to learn about the official rules, including whether there are any South Africa visa photo specifications that must be met. South Africa visa picture requirements state that the photograph provided must conform to the following items.
● The photo must be in color, clear, in focus, and evenly lit.
● The image must be taken within six months prior to the submission.
● The background of the photo must be plain white or light grey.
● The applicant should be centered in the image with his/her entire face and shoulders clearly visible.
● The face should take up around 70-80% of the whole picture.
● No shadows on the face or the background.
● The photograph must be snapped at the same level as the applicant, not from above or below.
When taking your visa images, you should pay attention to your expressions, clothing and accessories. We list some common mistakes below that you should be aware of.
● Smile. Smiling is encouraged in your daily life but not in your visa photo. Any other artificial facial expressions are not allowed. All you need to do is to keep calm and present a neutral facial expression.
● Headgear. Head coverings are only permitted if you have to wear them for religious purposes.
● Glasses. Considering that the lenses and frames of glasses will reflect the light or obscure your eyes, you should take off your glasses before shooting.
● Position. Your head should be square to the camera. Do not face away from the camera.
● Content. If there are other people or objects in your picture, then your photo will be rejected. Only you can appear in the frame.
The mandatory requirements of South Africa visa elaborate that the applicant should hand in 2 passport-style photos. Make sure that these photos should be identical and comply with the above specifications. Any failure to meet the requirements will cause rejection. Besides, the pictures should be printed on high-quality paper, among which one copy should be signed and dated by a counter signatory to certify that it contains the likeness of the traveler.
Taking a visa photograph might not be as complex as you think. So you can make a bold attempt. If you don't know how to do it, you can refer to our guidelines below.
● Find a suitable place for shooting. A spacious and bright room is preferred.
● Since you take pictures by yourself and you can't take a selfie, you can use a tripod to fix the camera.
● Daylight on a sunny day is your best option. If not, you can leverage LED to light up your face.
● Choose your daily clothes with a collar. The dark shirt is suitable.
● Before shooting, check whether your makeup (if possible) and your hair is proper or not.
● Stand one meter away from the white wall. Remove other stuff in your background.
● Adjust the distance between you and the camera to make sure that your full face and shoulders are noticeable in the frame.
● Stand straight, look directly at the camera and show a natural facial expression.
● Use the time-lapse shooting to take more photos so that you can pick the most satisfied one from them!
