Importance of regularly checking Dubai Visa status
After you've submitted your Dubai Visa application, you'll want to keep an eye on its progress as you make your travel plans. When checking your visa status, you may come across certain codes that indicate the current status of your application. To help you understand these codes, here's a brief rundown:
RECEIVED: Your application has been received and is now undergoing initial assessment by the relevant authorities.
UNDER PROCESSING: At this point, your application is under review. Officials are examining your documents, conducting background checks, and reaching a decision.
ISSUED: This status confirms that your visa to Dubai has been approved. You can now move forward with your travel preparations.
REJECTED: This indicates that your application wasn't successful. The exact reasons for denial may be provided in a separate notice.
For visa holders, it remains essential to regularly check your Dubai visa status. Here's why:
To stay informed about the active duration of your visa.
To anticipate when you'll need to renew or extend your visa.
To prevent potential issues, such as overstaying, which could result in penalties.
Required documents for your Dubai Visa check

Depending on the website or platform you use to check the status of your visa, you may also need to provide your visa application reference number and other personal details, such as your full name and date of birth.
Using online portals for visa status verification
The UAE government has two main portals that you can use to verify the status of your visa:
The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) website .
The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs-Dubai website .

Dealing with visa expiry, renewals, and overstays
It's important to keep track of your visa status so that you can renew it or leave the UAE before it expires. Staying beyond its expiry is considered as overstaying, leading to complications.
What can happen if you overstay your visa?
Fines: In the UAE, if you overstay your visa, you'll be charged AED 50 for each day. Continuous violations can lead to even higher charges.
Deportation: If your visa is over 60 days overdue, the authorities could deport you. This would mean you'd have to leave the UAE, and you might not be allowed back in for a while.
Travel ban: Being deported for visa issues can land you on a travel blacklist. This could keep you from returning to the UAE, even if you have a valid visa later on.
Criminal charges: Overstaying isn't just a simple matter; it can be considered breaking the law. If found guilty, you might face time in jail, additional fines, or both.
What to do after your UAE visa expires
If your visa expires while you're in the UAE, it's essential to act quickly.
The first step should be to try to extend or renew your visa. This is the most direct way to legally extend your stay. You can apply for an extension or renewal through the ICP website.
But, if extending or renewing isn't an option, you might have to exit the UAE and then apply for a new visa. In this case, you should contact the embassy or consulate of your home country for assistance.
For a smooth UAE visa application experience—and to get it done in less than 30 minutes—we recommend using our platform. Start your UAE Visa application with iVisa .
![visit visa uae check online value prop image](https://d2kzh91pcly9gn.cloudfront.net/value-prop-image-ivisa.webp)
Renewing your UAE Visa
Renewing a visa in the UAE isn't a one-size-fits-all procedure. The process to follow depends on your visa type and the reason you're extending it. Generally, you'd need to fill out an application, attach the required documents, pay any fees, and then wait for a decision on your application.
For most visit and tourist visas, a 30-day renewal is possible once the immigration authorities have given their approval . And before this renewal period runs out, there's an option for a second renewal. However, those on a 90-day visit visa should note that they can only get a single 30-day extension .
According to the ICP, resident visas that last more than six months can't be renewed at the moment. But after the visa expires or is canceled, expats get a 6-month period to either get a new residence visa or leave the UAE. Plus, there are no fines during these 6 months .

Paid parking in Dubai: Residents face up to Dh4,000 extra yearly costs when new rates kick in

Residence visa violators in the country will be given a chance to start anew when the amnesty scheme begins on September 1. They will be able to regularise their status and fly home without having to pay their fines — but will they face a ban? Will they still be able to return to the UAE?
Over the next few weeks, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security (ICP) is expected to detail the procedures and formalities involved in the two-month grace period for overstayers.
Immigration advisors and social workers have urged illegal residents to take advantage of the amnesty — stressing that once their status is cleared, they will not face any ban.
Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels.
“One will not face a ban and can return to the UAE anytime they want after regularising their visa status," immigration advisor Ali Saeed Al Kaabi told Khaleej Times.
“This programme by the UAE authorities will allow violators to avoid fines and ensure that they can return to the country in the future without restrictions."
How to ease the return process
Amnesty-seekers who wish to return to the country are advised to secure a residency visa or an offer letter from a UAE company before flying out, Al Kaabi said.
“Once an overstayer is able to regularise his/her visa status, it is advisable to obtain a residency permit before leaving the country. This could make their return process smoother,” he said.
Nissar Thalangara, president of the Indian Association Sharjah, learnt more details about the amnesty scheme after meeting with Dr Omar al Owais and Maj-Gen Azeem Suwiedi from the ICP.
Thalangara said the officials had confirmed that residence visa violators would not face any ban and could return to the UAE at any time. “During the last amnesty by the UAE Government, overstayers faced a ban for a certain period of time,” he said.
No tents this time
The social worker also clarified that this time, there would be no designated tents or activities at immigration offices.
“Everything will be handled at approved typing centres across the UAE, making the process easier and more user-friendly compared to the last amnesty,” said Thalangara.
“Overstayers can approach approved typing centres from September 1 to collect and submit their applications,” he added.
Awareness campaigns
To ensure that the community is fully informed about the amnesty, the Indian Association Sharjah is launching awareness campaigns.
“During the last amnesty, many overstayers were unaware of the initiative and were stranded in the country for years. Raising awareness is crucial to ensure that these individuals can make the best use of this opportunity to regularise their status,” said Thalangara.
The association will also set up a dedicated counter in their office to offer advice on how illegal residency can be cleared. The help desk will be open from 9 am to 6 pm daily throughout the amnesty period.

Dubai: If you recently sponsored your family on a visit visa to Dubai, you may have paid a refundable security deposit. However, how do you go about claiming this refund? Here is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.

In addition to the travel report or exit stamp, you will need to provide: • A copy of the passenger’s passport and visit visa • The original receipt of the security deposit payment
