Answer: – You will have to attach

• A scanned copy of your recent passport size photo (photo
specification is 35*45 mm and resolution should be 300 dpi). Photo format is
.jpg only. Size should not be more than 1 MB.

• A scanned copy of your passport front page (where your
picture and passport details are present). Format should be .jpg only. Size
should not be more than 1 MB.

Here’s need to know link from Uzbekistan e-visa website which suggests how your photo and passport scanned copy should look like. The photo should have 70-80% face coverage and the passport front page scanned copy should be clear.

• Be Extremely Patient. Although the e-visa process looks easy, don’t get fooled by it. Uzbekistan e-Visa is one of the most difficult visa applications that we have ever encountered.

• Many a times the website does not work properly and you can’t see drop down menu items.

• Your photo and passport scanned copy should be .jpg only. This website will not accept any other format.

• Your photo specification must be 35*45 mm and resolution has to be exact 300 dpi which is the standard of ICAO. Else the site will show an error.

• The size of your flies attached should not be more than 1 MB.

• You follow all the instructions and upload the photo and scanned passport copy in the 4^th Page of the application process. Sometimes it does not even accept the correct standards mentioned in the website. And sometime it will accept your files in the 4^th Page and throw an error in the final submission page.

• Even we did not understand when the website accepts the information and when it’s not. We did 4 e-visas and it was all hit and trial.

• So final suggestion from our side is to follow the standards mentioned above and leave it to Internet Gods and Uzbekistan Visa website to accept your details. And please start applying e-visa as soon as you can. Although visa comes within 1-3 days, it is the submission process which takes most of your time.
