Passport scan
The form usually also asks for your passport's photo page. Photograph it flat and use Compress Image to KB or, if it must be a PDF, JPG to PDF followed by Compress PDF.
For printed photos for other visas, use the Passport Photo Maker, which includes Saudi Arabia (4×6 cm) and UAE sizes.
