Djibouti e-visa photo requirements

Djibouti's official e-visa portal wants a recent digital passport-style photo: white background, JPEG format, under 2 MB. Visa-photo services commonly cite a 2 x 2 inch (51 x 51 mm) frame for it, matching the size used across many similar e-visa systems, but the government portal itself doesn't publish exact pixel dimensions, so treat that figure as a strong convention rather than a confirmed official number.

What's officially confirmed versus what's convention

Confirmed on the official portal: JPEG format, white background, file size under 2 MB. Not officially published: an exact pixel or millimeter size. The 2 x 2 inch figure that visa-photo services quote is the standard used by several nearby e-visa systems and is a reasonable target, but it isn't a number Djibouti's own site states.

How to avoid the common rejection reasons

The recurring mistakes reported for this portal are the wrong background (anything other than solid white), glasses, and low resolution that reads as blurry once uploaded. A recent, plain, well-lit photo with nothing else in frame clears most rejections on the first try.
