Passport Photo Issues in KETA KOREA Applications

Common Reasons Passport Photos Are Rejected in KETA KOREA Applications

Your KETA KOREA application may be rejected if your passport photo is blurry, cropped, or poorly lit. Photos with glare, shadows, or missing corners are also commonly denied. The image must clearly show your full passport page, including your photo, name, and passport number. Low-resolution or tilted images often cause delays or rejection. Always review your photo before uploading to ensure it meets the guidelines. If you’re unsure whether your photo is acceptable, ETAPORTAL can help. Their Korean travel experts will guide you through the process for a successful application.
