Student Visa in the UAE
A student visa in the UAE allows individuals to stay in the country for educational purposes, with sponsorship options available through a parent who is a UAE resident or directly from the university or college they attend.
The Student Affairs offices at universities and colleges assist with the visa application process. The initial duration of the student visa is one year, which can be renewed for an additional year upon providing proof of continued enrollment from the educational institution. Expatriate residents can sponsor their male children until the age of 25. However, if male students are older than 25, they may remain under their parents’ sponsorship by demonstrating enrollment in a higher education program for at least one year. Female students can be sponsored by their expatriate parents for studies regardless of age until they get married.Reason
Key Requirements
To apply for a student visa, applicants need to submit:
A certificate from the university or institute indicating the duration of studies.
Fulfillment of other standard requirements outlined in the general provisions for residence visas.
