    For uploading online photos for the OCI application, the minimum photo size should be 51 mm x 51 mm, and the maximum should be 500 KB.

    I submitted a photo from 1 year ago for the OCI application, which was rejected because, according to OCI, your photo should have been taken within the last 6 months.

  • Simran Luthra 11 June, 2025

    I remember during my OCI application form I submitted a digital passport-size photograph for the OCI application showing a proper face and plain background.
