MOHRE Application Status with Passport Number

You can check your MOHRE application status with your passport number without a login account. This is useful if your employer has already applied for your work permit or visa and you want to verify the current status.

Let’s follow the steps to check MOHRE application status using the passport number:

Open the official MOHRE enquiry services or transactions inquiry page.
Choose the service type, for example, work permit, visa, or complaint.
Enter your passport number, date of birth, and any given transaction or reference number.
Click Submit/Check Status.

If the record shows, you will see whether your MOHRE application status is approved, under process, or rejected. If nothing appears, first confirm with your employer that the application was actually submitted and that the passport number is correctly entered.

MOHRE Work Permit Status and MOHRE Visa Application Status

Both MOHRE work permit status and MOHRE visa application status can be checked online using the MOHRE website or the official MOHRE mobile app.

Approved – Your work permit or visa is approved; the employer can proceed with the next steps (e.g., Emirates ID, medical, or visa stamping).

Step 3: Select “Application Status” from the list of available services.
Step 4: Enter your Transaction Number (also known as the application number).

MOHRE Application Status: “Transaction Under Process”

When you check the MOHRE application status as “Transaction under process,” it simply means your application is now in the system and is being reviewed.

So please, you don’t need to panic about this notification:

“Transaction in progress” means that your form and documents have been received but have not yet been fully approved.
Most work permit applications submitted to MOHRE are processed within 3–5 working days, but complex cases may take longer.
If the status “Transaction under process” persists for more than 10–15 working days, you or your employer should contact MOHRE for an update.
