Senegal e-visa photo requirements: 35 x 45mm size and rules

Senegal's e-visa wants a photo sized 35 x 45 mm, which is 413 x 531 pixels if you're building the file digitally, in JPG format under 5 MB. The background must be plain white, the expression neutral with the mouth closed, hair and shoulders visible, and the photo taken within the last 3 months. Independent visa-photo services agree on all four numbers, though Senegal's own portal doesn't publish a pixel-by-pixel spec page of its own.

The spec, plainly

35 x 45 mm is 413 x 531 pixels at a standard export resolution. JPG only, under 5 MB, plain white background, no smiling, and the photo shouldn't be older than 3 months, a tighter window than the 6-month rule most other countries use.

Why background and format trip people up first

E-visa portals built on similar application platforms tend to reject a photo on background color and file format before they even get to face geometry, so get those two right first: true white, not off-white or gray, and JPG straight out of your phone's camera roll, not a PNG or HEIC export.
