[SAMPLE — replace with a verified update] We have seen more UAE e-visa applications returned for photo corrections where the background is off-white or shows shadows.
What to do
- Use a plain white background with even lighting.
- Face the camera directly with no glasses and ears visible.
- Don't crop the photo from a group picture.
