UAE rules and sources
Choose the actual service and provider. A work permit, residence permit and Emirates ID are separate services. There is no single verified digital upload preset for every UAE application.
What the sources cover
The public sources below support the scoped checklists and photo guidance. Authenticated upload fields have not been verified. Unknown dimensions, formats and limits stay unknown.
Etihad’s transit page publishes 43 × 55 mm photo geometry and JPEG documents up to 1MB. Our optional 508 × 650 pixels conversion at 300 DPI and 950,000 bytes encoding cap are product choices. Confirm your actual upload instructions.
Use the instructions for your selected service. We do not apply UAE citizen-passport photo dimensions to Emirates ID or reuse older upload limits without confirmation.
