New Dubai Student Visa Rules 2025


Dubai allows students to pursue their education on a student visa, with the chance to qualify for a Golden Visa. Alongside their studies, they can explore career opportunities and create a brighter future.

Dubai's standing as a leading international study destination is further enhanced by these initiatives.

 

Scholarships and Career Routes

The following will be available to overseas students as part of Dubai Vision 2033:

 

  • More scholarship options.
  • Better connections between the employment market and universities.
  • The goal is for 90% of graduates to find employment that matches their qualifications.

 

The largest number of students are Indian

Approximately 42% of Dubai's international student body is currently Indian, and the most popular majors are IT, engineering, and business. Dubai's increasing popularity as a cost-effective, secure, and career-focused travel destination is evident in this.


What This Means for Students?

Dubai's easier paperwork, longer visas, and professional options have made it a popular study abroad destination for international students. In comparison to the UK, USA, or Australia, it provides superior residency routes at a lower cost, especially for Indian students.
