Hi guys, Iโ€™m trying to apply for the COE and having issues with the online form.

It keeps saying I need to attach a copy of my passport but I have uploaded a photo of it as a jpeg, plus tried a pdf and had the same error message.

Iโ€™m applying from the UK and we have our TR visa.

Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve? Iโ€™ve tried many file formats and made sure none are too big.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported difficulties applying for the Certificate of Entry (COE) due to persistent error messages when trying to upload a copy of their passport. Despite attempting various formats (jpeg, pdf) and ensuring file sizes were appropriate, the issue remained. Users in the comments provided insights, such as the importance of clicking the upload button, file size limitations, and trying different browsers like Google Chrome. The user eventually resolved the issue by realizing they had not pressed the upload button after attaching the file.

When u attached the file, there's a icon you need to press to confirm upload the picture

Take photo on your phone , when you send resize to small

There is a file size you must adhere to. Maybe thatโ€™s it?

When you Attach passport copy. People forget to hit the Upload Button. Thatโ€™s the reason for this error.

Have you pressed the upload button, it's like an arrow pointing upwards i think, same as when you applied for the visa.
