Every Cambodia eVisa application requires two mandatory identity uploads: a colour facial photograph and a scan of your passport biodata page. Both files are submitted in the online application before payment — together with any nationality-specific supporting documents.
Reviewers cross-check your facial photo against the passport image and the personal details you enter in the form. Uploading clear, correctly labelled files the first time helps avoid holds, re-upload requests or rejection during the standard 3 business days processing window.
Use the chart below to check your Cambodia eVisa portrait before upload. Each row compares a common mistake (✗) with an acceptable version (✓).
These limits apply to the facial photo upload field in the Cambodia eVisa application.
Upload a clear image of your passport biodata (photo) page in the passport scan field. Reviewers verify that the MRZ, printed details and portrait match your facial photo and application form.
Follow these six steps to prepare both identity files and submit them in the correct application fields.
Take or select a recent passport-style colour photo on a plain background. Face the camera directly, keep both eyes visible and do not use filters or beauty apps.
Capture the full data page — photo, personal details and MRZ lines. Save as JPG, PNG or PDF under 2 MB. Confirm your passport meets the 6-month validity rule.
Facial photo: JPG or PNG only. Passport scan: JPG, PNG or PDF. Names and passport number must match what you will enter in the form.
Start the Cambodia eVisa application, select nationality and visa type, then complete traveller and passport details exactly as printed in your document.
Use the facial photo field for your portrait and the passport scan field for the biodata page. Preview each thumbnail — swapping files or using the wrong slot is a common cause of delay.
Add any nationality-specific supporting documents, review all uploads and pay the visa fee. Processing starts only after both identity files and payment are complete.
You need a recent colour passport-style portrait on a plain light background. Upload JPG or PNG, ideally under 2 MB and at least 413 x 531 pixels. Face the camera with a neutral expression and both eyes visible.
Upload a clear scan or photo of the full biodata (photo) page showing your portrait, personal details and machine-readable zone. Accepted formats are JPG, PNG or PDF, maximum about 2 MB.
Your passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond your intended arrival date in Cambodia, and the same travel document used in the application must be presented at the border.
Prescription glasses are acceptable if there is no glare and eyes are clearly visible. Sunglasses and tinted lenses are not permitted.
Yes. The passport biodata page may be uploaded as JPG, PNG or PDF. Facial photographs must be image files only — PDF is not accepted for the portrait upload.
Yes. Every person on a group or family Cambodia eVisa application needs their own facial photograph and passport biodata page scan.
No. The facial photograph and passport biodata scan are separate mandatory uploads in different application fields.

Every Cambodia eVisa application needs two core identity files: a facial photograph and a passport biodata page scan. Reviewers cross-check both against the details you enter in the form and against border records on arrival.
Missing, blurry or mismatched documents are among the most frequent causes of processing delays. Uploading compliant files in the correct fields the first time helps keep your application on the standard 3 business days timeline.
Your upload must be a passport-style colour portrait: head and shoulders visible, plain light background, neutral expression and eyes open. The face should fill most of the frame without being cropped at the chin or forehead.
Prescription glasses are allowed if there is no glare and eyes remain visible. Sunglasses, tinted lenses and casual headwear are not accepted unless worn daily for religious reasons with the full face showing.
Children and infants follow the same rules. For babies, photograph from above on a plain white sheet with soft, even lighting.
Upload a clear image of the entire biodata (photo) page — the page with your passport portrait, personal details and machine-readable zone (MRZ) at the bottom. The travel document itself must be valid at least 6 months beyond your intended arrival in Cambodia.
Accepted upload formats are JPG, PNG or PDF up to about 2 MB. Every character in the MRZ and printed fields must be readable.
Names, passport number and dates of birth and expiry entered in the application must match the scan exactly.
The online form has separate slots for each file type:
Do not swap these fields. Uploading a passport page as your facial photo, or a portrait in the passport slot, will delay review. See the application procedure for the full steps.
Wrong file in wrong field: The facial photo and passport scan are uploaded separately — never interchange them.
Poor image quality: Blur, glare, shadows or heavy compression make identity checks impossible.
Cropped passport page: Missing corners or MRZ lines require a new upload.
Outdated portrait: Photos taken years ago or before major appearance changes may be rejected.
Expired or invalid passport: Check the 6-month validity rule before you scan.
Every applicant must provide a facial photo and passport biodata scan. Additional supporting documents depend on your passport nationality and purpose of visit.
Review the eligible countries list and full visa requirements before you start. Photo and passport rules are universal; only supplementary papers vary.
For your portrait: stand before a plain wall, use the rear camera at eye level, disable beauty filters and crop to head-and-shoulders.
For your passport: lay the open book flat on a table, shoot straight down or from directly above, and avoid flash reflecting off the laminate.
