How to Check Visa Status in Dubai
Keeping tabs on your visa status is essential, especially when your status influences factors like residency, employment, and legal compliance. Dubai provides a streamlined online system for checking visa status, which makes it easy to verify your current standing. Here’s how you can check your visa status online in Dubai:
Visit the Official ICP Website
Go to the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Ports Security (ICP) website at https://icp.gov.ae or use the GDRFA Dubai portal. Both offer real-time status checks, with ICP covering the entire UAE and GDRFA focusing on Dubai-specific information.
Use Your Entry Permit or Residence File Number
Select the relevant visa inquiry option. You’ll need to provide details such as your Entry Permit Number, Residency File Number, or UAE Unified Number (UID) along with your passport number.
Verify Your Information
After entering the required details, you’ll be prompted to verify your status. The portal will display your visa validity, issuance and expiration dates, and additional information on renewal timelines or exit requirements.
Check Your Status Through the GDRFA App
For Dubai visas, the GDRFA-Dubai app offers convenient, on-the-go status checks. Simply download the app, log in, and navigate to the ‘Visa Inquiry’ section for status updates.
