The Angola e-Visa Photo size is 571 x 744 pixels for online upload (minimum 381 x 496, maximum 571 x 744), file under 200 KB. A recent photograph with a white background suitable for official use.; head 70 to 80 percent of the photo height. Last verified 2026-10-10 against Serviço de Migração e Estrangeiros (SME), Ministério do Interior, Angola - 'eVISA (english version)' FAQ: Instructions for Form, File upload Instructions (Face image) and Tourism VISA requirements.
For the face image uploaded with an Angolan e-Visa application on the Serviço de Migração e Estrangeiros portal (tourism visa under Presidential Decree 189/23 and the other online visa categories): a recent photograph on a white background, 381 to 571 pixels wide and 496 to 744 pixels high, JPEG, at most 200 KB. The head band is the ICAO reference because the SME publishes none. Not for an Angolan passport, whose act sheet is behind the portal login.

What trips people up
- CheckPixel box, not millimetres: the upload instructions for the face image say 'minimum allowed height is 496 pixels.', 'maximum allowed height is 744 pixels.', 'minimum allowed width is 381 pixels.', 'maximum allowed width is 571 pixels.', 'maximum allowed file size is 200 KB.' and 'allowed format is .jpg/.jpeg'. We render 571 x 744 px (the top of the range, roughly 10:13) as a JPEG under 200 KB.
- CheckThe tourism checklist repeats it: 'Photograph with white background: One standard size photo. Width (381-571) pixels, Height (496 - 744) pixels, Maximum file size - 200 KB, Image format - JPEG;' and asks for the passport data page as a JPEG of at most 70 KB.
- CheckBefore you start: 'A recent photograph with a white background suitable for official use.' and a passport valid for at least one year with four empty pages, plus the supporting documents for your visa type. Only scanned files can be uploaded ('The website doesn't support any live scan directly from the scanners'), saved as JPEG or TIFF; supporting documents go in black and white at 100-150 dpi, JPEG up to 350 KB or TIFF up to 15 MB.
- CheckTourism visa: 'The tourism visa applied for through this portal is covered by the Presidential Decree no. 189/23, of 29 September' - 'VISA FEE: 36.600,00 KZ paid in cash at the border;' with a round-trip booking and a valid international vaccination certificate; nationals of the listed countries are visa-exempt for 30 days per entry and 90 days a year.
- CheckNo face measurement, expression or glasses rule is published; the 70-80 per cent head band, no-glare glasses and religious-only head-covering rules here are ICAO-style defaults.
Good to know before you pay
If you already have a white-background JPEG inside 381-571 x 496-744 px and under 200 KB, upload it; use ours when you need the exact pixel box and file size from a phone photo.
