It boasts excellent academic standards and a global reputation for excellence in all areas of education and training. A student visa to the United Arab Emirates permits students from all over the globe to pursue their studies. If you wish to study in the United Arab Emirates but don’t know where to start, here are some helpful and instructive tips.
Type of Visas
There are 3 types of Dubai student visas available:
Dubai Student Visa Sponsored by Family
Students who are enrolled in an educational institution may be able to apply for a UAE visa with their parents’ sponsorship. Full-time students are eligible for this option. Unmarried females can be any age, whereas males must be under the age of 18.
Dubai Study Visa Sponsored by an Educator
If the educational institution qualifies, full-time students can be sponsored by the institution. Students can get a Dubai study visa for the duration of their degree with this sort of visa.
Dubai Student Visa for a Short Stay
Students can apply for a short-term Dubai student visa if they are only studying for a few months. This allows for a 60-day stay, which can be extended if needed.
INTAKES AND DEADLINES:
• Intakes for under graduation: April/May; July/August; December/January.
• Intakes for Post-graduation: July/August; December/January.
In some universities, the admission happens all through-out the year. So, the admissions happen in fall, spring and summer. The fall season attracts most of the international admissions. 
Students are advised to apply 3-4 months before the intake.
Eligibility Criteria
A student visa is for students attending university or college in the UAE. Dubai student visas are available to expatriate students living in the UAE under the sponsorship of their parents or relatives, as well as overseas international students who wish to attend one of the UAE’s higher educational institutions. To avoid potential mistakes, it is recommended that candidates review the Dubai Visa rules and regulations. 
1.Admission to one of the UAE institutions does not imply that a student visa will be issued.
2.A medical fitness exam, a security check, and clearance from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in the respective emirate are all required before a visa may be issued. 
3.These are the options for obtaining a student visa in the UAE. Male students above the age of 18 can continue to be sponsored by their parents for a residence visa. 
4.They must show proof of at least one year of attendance at a higher educational institution. 
5.Regardless of their child’s age, expatriate parents may continue to support their female children for education.
Validity and Visa Renewal
Dubai student Visa for residences are often only valid for one year and must be renewed each year while enrolled in college. Official proof of continuation of study is issued by the relevant higher educational establishment in the UAE where the student is studying. A student’s student residence visa becomes invalid if they leave the UAE for more than six months. The students will not be able to enter the UAE until the old visa is cancelled and a new one is issued. Typically, the visa holder will be reported to immigration officials by the sponsor.
