Dubai Visa Check by Passport Number Only – UAE Visa Tracking Guide (2025)

Keeping track of your visa status is an essential step when staying in the UAE—whether you’re a resident, employee, or visitor. The good news is that the Dubai visa check by passport number only is a quick and secure process through the UAE government’s official portals. And if you applied for your visa through DubaiVisa.com, you can also track it instantly on our platform using your Order ID or by contacting our team on WhatsApp.

This updated guide walks you through both ways — the official UAE government method via ICP Smart Services and GDRFA Dubai, followed by the DubaiVisa.com tracking process for our applicants.

What You’ll Need Before Checking Your Visa Status

Before starting, make sure you have these details ready. It helps prevent errors and ensures your search gives the correct result — especially on the official UAE websites.

For Residents & Work Visa Holders

If you’re on a residence or employment visa, you’ll need:

• Passport number (exactly as shown on your passport)

• Passport expiry date

• Nationality (select from the dropdown menu)

• Emirates ID number (optional for some searches)

• Visa file number (for Dubai-issued visas via GDRFA)

For Visit & Tourist Visa Holders

If you hold a short-term tourist or visit visa, keep these ready:

• Passport number and expiry date

• Nationality

• Entry permit number (if provided by sponsor or agency)

• Visa reference number (from your travel agent or DubaiVisa.com confirmation)

Having your visa copy nearby makes the process smoother.

How to Check Your Dubai Visa Status by Passport Number (Official UAE Method)

You can easily check your Dubai visa status online using your passport number through official UAE government portals. There are two — depending on where your visa was issued.

1. ICP Smart Services Portal (for most Emirates)

If your visa was issued in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, or Umm Al Quwain, use the ICP Smart Services website.

👉 Visit ICP Smart Services

Follow these steps:

1. Choose “File Validity” then select “Visa.”

2. Under “Search By,” select “Passport Information.”

3. Enter your passport number, expiry date, and nationality.

4. Complete the Captcha verification.

5. Click Search to view your visa details.

Your screen will show:

• Visa type (tourist, visit, or residence)

• Validity period

• Expiry date

• Current status (active, expired, or cancelled)

2. GDRFA Dubai Portal (for visas issued in Dubai)

If your visa was issued in Dubai, you’ll need to check it through the GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai) portal.

👉 Visit GDRFA Dubai Visa Status Portal

Here’s how:

1. Select “Residence Inquiry” or “Visa Status.”

2. Enter your visa file number or passport number along with your nationality.

3. Solve the captcha and click Submit.

Your visa validity, file details, and expiry date will appear on the screen.

(You might also see Arabic labels like رقم المنشأة (Establishment Number), أدخل رقم الملف (Enter File Number), and تاريخ الانتهاء (Expiry Date) — these refer to your sponsor’s registration number, your visa file number, and your visa’s expiry date.)
