Ireland Visa Tracker is an independent utility created to help applicants track visa decisions published by the New Delhi Visa Office (NDVO) and the Beijing Visa Office (BVO). Instead of manually searching the embassy decision lists every week, our system monitors the listings hourly and emails you the moment your application reference is published.
No. This is an independent tracking tool created by UniExperts.io. It has no official connection, endorsement, or affiliation with the Embassy of Ireland, the Irish Department of Justice, VFS Global, or any governmental authority. You must verify all outcomes through official communication channels.
The New Delhi and Beijing Visa Offices generally update their decision spreadsheets once a week. However, because updates can happen unpredictably, our scraper checks their servers hourly to capture any new documents instantly.
Currently, the tracker monitors the decision sheets published by the New Delhi Visa Office (NDVO) (serving India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) and the Beijing Visa Office (BVO) (serving Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong). We process application tracking globally for reference numbers originating from these regional offices.
No, this is a completely free tracking service provided to the applicant community to make the transition and visa tracking experience smoother and stress-free.
Once you register with your 8-digit application reference, visa category, and applied date, our background scraper scans the official embassy publication pages hourly. The moment your application number appears on a newly published spreadsheet, our system matches it in our database and dispatches an immediate email notification detailing the outcome.
Your Application Reference Number is a unique 8-digit sequence number printed on your VFS receipts, online visa application summary sheets (AVATS), and confirmation email receipts. It contains only numbers (for example: 55450682).
Yes, absolutely! You can subscribe to as many references as you want using a single email address. Our system tracks each application as a separate document, and you will receive individual email alerts specifying the matching application ending in its respective last four digits.
Our database will register both subscriptions under separate channel identifiers (e.g., direct web registration vs. webhook integration). When a decision is published, notifications are dispatched to both channels independently, ensuring that both you and the partner system/agency receive the update without interference.
Multiple users can track the same application. However, to prevent status tampering and security leaks, the visa category and application date lock onto the initial registration's details. Updates are sent out to all active subscribers registered for that reference number once the decision is published.
This status indicates that your alert subscription is active, and our systems are checking the embassy lists every hour for your reference. It means the embassy has not yet published a decision outcome for your application number.
You will receive an email alert reflecting the published outcome. If approved (granted), the email contains a congratulatory green badge. If refused, the email contains a status update indicating a refusal was detected, advising you to refer to your official embassy letter or VFS return pack for details and appeal guidelines.
First, check your spam/junk folder. Emails from us are sent from noreply@uniexperts.ioor a verified system domain. If you still don't see it, ensure that you input your email address correctly without spaces or typos. You can also re-request a verification code if needed.
You can manage and delete your active subscriptions directly from your user dashboard. Once logged in, locate the subscription you want to remove and click the Delete button. This instantly removes the reference from our tracking queue, and no further emails will be sent.
The decision volume and stats are compiled from official historical decision data published by the NDVO. Filters for visa types (e.g., Student, Visit, Work) allow you to view specific volumes and outcomes. This helps you understand processing trends and timelines.
Yes, completely. We take security and privacy seriously. Your 8-digit visa application numbers are hashed cryptographically using SHA-256 before being stored in our database. We never store your reference numbers in plaintext, preventing unauthorized lookups and protecting your tracking history.
No. Status checks on our landing page do not reveal private email addresses or registration details. Furthermore, duplicate subscriptions for the same reference number silently lock onto the original visa category and applied date in our database, preventing data leaks or stats tampering.
