Home / Student Visa Information
The student visa is provided to those candidates enrolled as full time students for the Bachelors, Masters or PhD programs offered by the university and willing to relocate to the UAE.
Students enrolled for short-term courses such as CPD or Certificate courses are not eligible for student visa.
To make sure your documents are processed on time please apply at least four weeks before your classes start.
A student’s visa is normally valid for a period of 12 months. The visa can be renewed for an additional 12 months after. All the visa fees are to be paid by the student.
All visa applications will undergo UAE immigration security clearance and this process will take three to five weeks. University will not be responsible for the rejection of visa application or delay in obtaining security clearance.
In case the visa application is rejected for any reason, portion of the fee paid will be deducted as processing charge by the Government Services Office and the rest will be refunded. It may take up to 90 days from the date of rejection to get the refund. The university will contact the student as soon as the refund is ready to be collected.
As part of student visa process, students will have to undergo medical test and Emirates ID card process as soon as they arrive in the UAE on a student visa. Students will have to be physically available during the process of medical and Emirates ID. The process will take up to 4 weeks and the passport will remain with the Immigration dept. during this period.
The student visa fees varies depending upon whether you are already in the UAE on a different visa or you are outside of the UAE.
As per the Dubai Health Insurance Law 11 of 2013 all students under university sponsorship (on student VISA) need to have mandatory medical insurance coverage. Students have the option to avail medical coverage of their choice or contact the university to enroll into the university medical coverage.
