Getting a passport page PDF under 300 KB

The e-Visa form takes the scanned bio page of your passport, the page with your photograph and details, as a PDF of at least 10 KB and at most 300 KB. Documents for a business or medical e-Visa have the same limits.

A single scanned page fits in 300 KB comfortably. We lower the resolution of the scan step by step and keep the first step that fits, so the text and your photo stay as sharp as the limit allows. The 10 KB minimum is never a problem for a real scan.

Tips

  • Scan or photograph only the bio page, flat and in good light, with the whole page in the frame.
  • If your passport page is a JPG, save it as a PDF first (most phones can print to PDF), then compress it here.
  • Keep one page per file. The form asks for the bio page on its own.

Requirements from the Indian e-Visa site (Instructions for Applicant), checked 26 September 2026. Forms change their rules, so check the form itself if something is rejected.

Questions

How long must my passport be valid for an Indian e-Visa?

Your passport needs at least six months of validity on the day you apply, and at least two blank pages for the immigration officer's stamp. Check the expiry date printed on the bio page before you scan it, since that is the page you upload.

What details must show on the passport page I upload for the e-Visa?

Upload the photo page with your personal details readable: name, date of birth, nationality and expiry date. The site warns that an application may be rejected if uploaded documents are not clear. After compressing, open the PDF and zoom in to check that every line of text can still be read.

What other documents does the Indian e-Visa ask for besides the passport?

It depends on the visa type. An e-Business Visa asks for a copy of your business card, and an e-Medical Visa for a letter from the Indian hospital on its letterhead. These are PDFs with the same 10 KB to 300 KB limit, and every document must be in English.
