Frequently asked questions
How can I check my UAE visa status?
Use the official ICP website or app for most emirates, or the GDRFA Dubai website for Dubai files, with your passport details or file number. We can also check and explain the result for you.
What do I need to check my status?
Usually your passport number and nationality, or the application/file number from your entry permit or visa.
Why does my application show "in progress" for days?
Some applications need extra review or additional approvals. If it stays unusually long, the authority may be waiting for a document or correction — we can review what is missing.
Can I check someone else's visa status?
You can check applications you sponsor or hold documents for, such as family members or employees, using their passport or file details.
What is the difference between visa status and visa validity?
Status shows where an application stands (approved, in progress, rejected). Validity shows whether an issued visa is still active and its expiry date.
