Empost Express Visa Passback Service

The U.S. Consulate General in Dubai uses a mandatory courier visa passback service for non-immigrant visas. Passports containing non-immigrant visas will be returned to the applicant by Empost Express courier service direct to any location in the UAE requested by the applicant.

How does the passport courier return service work?

After the visa interview at the Consulate, applicants will provide a UAE-based address and telephone number on an Empost delivery form which will be attached to the passport. Applicants will retain a receipt with their Empost tracking number. When the passport is ready to be returned with the visa, Empost will courier the passport to the applicant within two business days.  Applicants must have their Empost receipt in order to recieve their passport.

How do I check on the status of my passport delivery?

Applicants can use their tracking number to check passport delivery status by telephoning Empost at 600565555 or visiting the Empost website at www.empostuae.com

The Consulate is unable to provide information about passback status. Please contact Empost directly to determine the status of an Empost passport delivery.
