Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my UAE visa is real or fake?▾

A UAE visa PDF can look perfectly real and still be fake or tampered. The only reliable way is an independent check against the issuing source — that is what our certified verification does, and you receive a signed report stating whether the visa is genuine or suspicious.

Is the eVisas.io verification certificate a government document?▾

No. eVisas.io is an independent verification service. Our certificate is an independent fraud and tamper report, not an official government letter. It is for your own peace of mind before you travel or before you trust a visa you have received.

Will banks, embassies or employers accept your certificate?▾

No. Our report is not meant for bank loans, embassy submissions, employer onboarding, family sponsorship or property rental paperwork. Those institutions require original government documents. Our certificate is purely a private fraud check.

What if my UAE visa turns out to be fake?▾

You still receive the full verification report flagging the issues we found. You can use it as evidence when you contact the agent, your bank, or the authorities. We do not refund the visa price itself — we are not the seller — but our verification fee is honoured regardless of the outcome.

Why not just check on the ICP or GDRFA portal myself?▾

Portals show status data but cannot tell you that the PDF in your hand was not edited. A tampered PDF can still match a real reference number. Our check combines source verification with file integrity analysis, then signs the result so it cannot be quietly altered.

How long does it take?▾

Most checks complete within minutes to a few hours during working time. Complex cases that require deeper review can take up to 24 hours.

Which UAE visa types can you verify?▾

All of them — tourist, visit, transit, employment, residence, golden visa, family and partner visas, and visas issued by ICP, GDRFA Dubai, and Amer.

Is my data safe?▾

Yes. Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, only the verification team can access them, and the final certificate masks sensitive identifiers so it is safe to share.

What does an "Unable to Verify" result mean?▾

It means we could not independently confirm the visa within the agreed window. It is not the same as "fake" — it simply means do not trust it without further checks.

How is this different from a free portal screenshot?▾

A free portal screenshot is easy to fake, expires the moment the status changes, and proves nothing about the PDF you were sent. Our signed report binds the result to the exact file we examined, with a unique verification ID you can re-check anytime.

Don't gamble on a Visa PDF.

Get an independent authenticity report in minutes, before the visa costs you a flight, a job, or worse.
