What the official pages say about the Jordan e-Visa photo
Jordan's e-Visa is requested on the Ministry of Interior's e-services website or its MOI phone app, then printed before the trip. Citizens on the ministry's first country list, India among them, can apply straight away. Pakistani, Nepali and Sri Lankan citizens qualify after 6 months' residence in a listed country, such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK or the US, or with a Schengen or US visa valid for 6 months or more, plus a return ticket when leaving by air. Bangladesh is on none of the ministry's lists, so its citizens use the visa service for nationalities that need prior approval.
Jordan Gate, the government portal, says the upload includes a passport-sized photo and a copy of a passport valid for at least six months. Neither it nor the ministry gives a size, file limit or background colour, and neither mentions glasses or head coverings. For urgent entry visa requests, the FAQ says companions cannot be added; each needs a separate passport and goes in as an applicant. Some nationalities can get a visa on arrival instead.

Questions and answers
What size is the Jordan e-Visa photo?
The official rules do not fix a pixel size. SafeResize makes a sharp 413 × 531 pixel file that fits every other rule.
What is the Jordan e-Visa photo size in cm, inches or pixels?
The official rules give no size in cm or inches, and on pixels they say: not stated; only a "passport-sized photo" is asked for. SafeResize makes a 413 × 531 pixel photo in the 7:9 shape of a 35 × 45 mm passport photo, our own choice that fits the other rules.
What file size does the Jordan e-Visa photo need to be?
The official rules do not state a file size. SafeResize shows the size of your file before you download it, so you can compare it with what the application screen asks for.
What background colour does the Jordan e-Visa photo need?
White (not officially stated). Stand in front of a plain wall with no pattern, and face a window so there are no shadows behind you. If your wall is not plain enough, the photo maker on this page can make the background white with an AI that runs on your device. Check the edges around your hair afterwards.
How big should my head be in the Jordan e-Visa photo?
From the chin to the top of the head, your head should fill 70% to 80% of the photo height. The official rules do not state this, so we use the international (ICAO) guideline. The face guide in the tool shows both lines.
Can Indians get a Jordan e-Visa, and what photo do they upload?
Yes. India is on the Ministry of Interior's list of nationalities that can apply for the electronic visa directly. Jordan Gate asks for a passport-sized photo with a copy of your passport, and no official page we read gives a size or file limit.
I am from Pakistan, Nepal or Bangladesh. Can I apply for the Jordan e-Visa?
Pakistani and Nepali citizens can if they have lived at least 6 months in one of the ministry's listed countries, such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UK or the US, or hold a Schengen or US visa valid for at least 6 months, with a return ticket if leaving by air. Bangladesh is on none of the ministry's lists, so Bangladeshi citizens apply through its visa service for nationalities that need prior approval. The ministry's FAQ says those nationalities can get a tourist visa through a Jordanian tourism office, and its service card for that visa lists a passport copy but no photo.
Do I need a photo for a Jordan visa on arrival?
Jordan Gate says that for a visa on arrival you fill out the required forms and pay the visa fee at the airport or border crossing. It does not mention a photo.
What else do the Jordan e-Visa photo rules say?
A passport-sized photo, uploaded with a copy of your passport (Jordan Gate, the government portal). No official digital photo rules are published, so follow any hints shown on the upload screen.
Which file format should I use?
Not stated (JPG is safest). SafeResize saves a JPG (JPEG) file.
Can I take this photo at home?
Yes. A photo taken at home is fine if it follows the rules above. It is easier if someone else takes it for you.
Is my photo uploaded to SafeResize?
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your phone or computer.
Please note: Jordan does not publish official photo rules for the e-Visa, so check the upload screen for the file type and size limit before you apply.
