Emirates Visa Status Check where has my visa got to?

Every Emirates visa we file gets an application ID the moment you submit it — it is in your acknowledgement email and on your receipt. Enter that ID below and you will see the stage your file has genuinely reached: waiting on a document, with our team for checking, sitting with UAE immigration, or issued and ready to download. Not a vague “in progress” bar. Some people look for an Emirates visa checker and some for an EK visa check — this is the same tool either way, and it works whether or not you are flying on an Emirates ticket, because we filed the visa rather than the airline. If a stage has taken longer than it should, the page says so, and you can put the question straight to an adviser instead of waiting and wondering. Approved visas stay downloadable here for as long as they are valid, so it does not matter if the email gets lost.

Checking somewhere other than here? Read how to check your Emirates visa status — 5 methods for what the ICP and GDRFA portals, the airline desk and your reference number can each actually tell you.

Important Note


  • Application ID can be seen in the acknowledgement message when you submit details for visa processing through Emirates Visa.
  • Your passport number is checked against the ID, so nobody else can look up your application.
