Student Visa

The UAE Student Visa is a residence permit for international students pursuing full-time academic studies at UAE-accredited institutions. Sponsored by the educational establishment itself, this visa provides the legal framework for non-national students to reside in the country while enrolled. It is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate programs across all academic levels.

The visa is issued for one year and is renewable annually as long as the student maintains full-time enrollment status. Processing takes just 2 days, and the standard application fee is AED 200 plus 5% VAT. Dependents are permitted to accompany the student. Work authorization is limited and requires a separate permit.

This visa is ideal for international students seeking long-term residency in the UAE to complete bachelor's or master's degrees at accredited universities and colleges.
