Frequently asked questions
What goes into "File Number" on the GDRFA inquiry?
Enter the "ENTRY PERMIT NO" from your visa, digits only without slashes. For example, 206/2026/12345678 on the visa becomes 206202612345678. The "U.I.D. No." does not go in this field.
Is the date in the result my length of stay?
No. The "ON OR BEFORE" date is the last day you can enter the UAE. Your permitted stay starts after you enter and depends on your visa type.
I cannot find my reference number. What should I do?
Search your inbox and spam folder for "DXB" in the email you applied with. If you still cannot find it, contact us with your name and phone number and we will send it to you.
