If you don’t have a United Arab Emirates (UAE) citizenship or are not a citizen of one of the other GCC nations, you will require a student visa to study in Dubai. This visa is also called as Dubai Study Visa and is needed for anyone that is residing outside the GCC. Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE are part of the Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC.
Dubai will require you to have a residence visa sponsored by one of the parents for enrolment in elementary, secondary, or high schools. If you are seeking for higher education (i.e. tertiary level courses) in Dubai or the UAE, all colleges and universities, as well as certain training institutes, will sponsor/provide student visas.
To summarize, if you want to study in Dubai, contact the institution to apply for a student visa. Every university has its own set of procedures, documentation necessary, and visa processing fees. However, the general information to get the Dubai Student visa is available below.
