A Dubai visit visa status check tells you where your visit visa application currently stands — for example, whether it is still under processing or has reached a final decision. Use the checker above with your application/reference number and passport number to view your current status.
Checking your visit visa status
Whether you applied for a 30-day or 60-day Dubai visit visa, single or multiple entry, the status-check process is the same. Your status reflects the stage your application has reached, not your travel dates.
