🇦🇪 Student visa routes in United Arab Emirates

We have not yet indexed a route that maps directly to students in United Arab Emirates, but the general work and skilled-migration routes for United Arab Emirates below may still apply. Always confirm the current rules on the primary source before acting.

Also searched as: international student, graduate student, postgraduate, undergraduate.

What this means for students

United Arab Emirates does not currently have a route in our index that maps one-to-one to students, so the general routes below are the place to start. Students are not usually a licensed profession, so your main gates are securing a qualifying job offer where a route needs a sponsor, and meeting any salary or points threshold, rather than re-credentialing.

The most-used skilled route into United Arab Emirates overall is the UAE Green Visa; it is not specific to students but is worth understanding as the benchmark route.
