Armenia e-Visa photo requirements: 600 x 600 px on white
Armenia's e-visa (evisa.govn.am) asks for a recent color portrait photo at 600 x 600 pixels, in JPG, PNG or BMP format, up to 6 MB, on a plain white background, facing the camera directly with no shadows or blur. This is corroborated across the official portal's own requirements page plus three independent visa-photo reference sites in agreement. Selfies, cropped group photos, and photos with a colored or patterned background are commonly cited rejection reasons, so use a plain white backdrop and a photo taken specifically for the application rather than an existing casual photo.

The spec
600 x 600 pixels, square, in JPG, PNG or BMP format, up to 6 MB. Plain white background, front-facing, neutral expression, face clearly visible and filling the frame, no shadows or blur, recent (within the general 6-month photo-recency convention most portals use).
Common rejection reasons
Reported causes of a rejected or bounced Armenia e-visa photo: submitting a selfie rather than a passport-style portrait, cropping yourself out of a group photo, or using a colored or patterned background instead of plain white. A file outside the 600 x 600 pixel target or over the 6 MB ceiling can also fail to upload. Fixing the crop and background before applying avoids the most commonly cited issues.
