Check the status and duration of your UAE visa with only your passport.

The one task most UAE residents go through every two or three years is checking the status and validity of their UAE visa. We might remember the month of expiry, but the date would have skipped our minds. So, we end up flipping through the pages of our passport for visa validity check. But the problem is, we don’t carry the passport with us all the time and most likely would keep it safe in a locker or drawer in our homes. In that case, how can we check the visa validity instantly? Here is a very simple yet helpful tool.

Through this official government website, residents can verify whether the visa issued is valid and also check the authenticity of the visa. All you need is your passport number and expiry date of the passport.
