How to find UAE Visa number

   
      The visa number  is located next to “File” in the visa stamped on your passport.
Also can be found on the new entry permits if you are coming to UAE for the first time. The number can be seven or more characters long and is printed next to Entry Permit No. in the new entry permits. Be advised that the "Barcode Number" or “Control number” under the barcode is not the Visa number; it is purely used for the recognition by the barcode readers in the immigration department.

Visa number is given as Entry Permit No. starting with 201/YYYY/XXXXXXXX in new entry permits and a number starting with 201/YYYY/XXXXXXX next to "File" in the sticker stamped in your passport.

For example, if you are a citizen/Nationality  of  India and you are getting your passport from Indian Consulate in Dubai - then India is your country of issue and Dubai is your place of issue .
