How to Check Your UAE Work Visa Application?

If you have applied for a UAE work visa and want to check its status, there are several official platforms and methods you can use, depending on your location and visa type. Here's how you can track the progress of your UAE work visa:

1. Through the UAE Government’s ICP Website (for most Emirates)

ICP (Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security) handles visa services for Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah, and Ras Al Khaimah.

• Visit: https://icp.gov.ae

• Click on ""File Validity"" under the services tab.

• Enter your passport number, nationality, and select ""Visa"" as the document type.

• You will be able to view your visa application status or residency details if the visa is issued.

2. Through GDRFA Website (Dubai Only)

If your work visa was issued in Dubai, it falls under the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).

• Visit: https://www.gdrfad.gov.ae

• Go to the ""Services"" section, then click on ""Visa Status Inquiry"".

• Enter the required details such as passport number, visa file number, and nationality.

• The system will show the status of your work visa.

3. Using the GDRFA Dubai App (for Dubai visa holders)

• Download the GDRFA Dubai app (available on Android and iOS).

• Register or log in.

• Use the visa tracking feature to check your application or residency status.

4. Ask Your Employer or PRO (Public Relations Officer)

• The employer or their appointed PRO handles most visa-related processes.

• They can check the visa status using the MOHRE system or immigration portal and provide updates.

• Once the Entry Permit is approved, they should share a copy with you.

5. Via MOHRE Website or App

To check labor contract or permit status:

• Visit: https://www.mohre.gov.ae

• Use your passport number or work permit number under the ""Enquiry Services"" tab.

• This platform shows your labor contract, work permit status, and employer details.

Conclusion:

To check your UAE work visa status, use the ICP or GDRFA platform based on your visa’s emirate. Alternatively, your employer or PRO can provide updates. Always use official government websites or apps for accurate information, and avoid sharing personal details with unverified sources.
