Sjoerd Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Does someone know in which format the documents need to be uploaded. I saw in general visa condititions: Apply for a new visa - "Upload biodata page of passport and a photo taken within the last 6 months (JPG / JPEG format, size not exceeding 3 MB" Just wonder if the other documents can be uploaded in pdf.

Maestro Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 From what I have seen, the type of acceptable document formats is separately stated for each section of the application process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Safer" in the sense the form is a bit vague so knowing that JPeg ALWAYS works I used that to avoid complications and delays. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the manual only the biodata page and photo were mentioned to upload as Jpeg. The download form as travel plan is already in pdf.When convert a multiple page pdf document to Jpeg , in Jpeg they are separate pages. The embassy didn't answer my question about this; just sent a manual link... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I just did one, all paper work was in PDF.. The system wont accept formats it doesnt like. PDF is better in that it can include several pages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, pages 1 & 2 (passport & photo) should be JPEG normally used for digital images. JPG and JPEG are in fact the same, former is a left over from when file extensions were limited to 3 letters. For page 4(supporting documents) PDF can be used. If you need to submit more than one document for a question it is much easier to combine in PDF than JPEG. You can only upload one document per question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkok19 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Where they had asked me for Proof Of Accomodation, I scanned my 4 hotel's 'confirmation' letters (printed out from their email) with all 4 pages overlapping so that the 'dates' were all showing.. the result was one A4 page with the 4 dates and part of the hotel's details. I sent them this in jpeg format of course, all good. Doubt whether any 'human' actually looks at it. My buddy did the e-visa thing last month and wasn't even asked for proof of accomodation. Streamlining the process??? Edited October 31, 2023 by bangkok19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
