UAE Establishes Visa Requirements for Study and Training

The United Arab Emirates has published the conditions and costs associated with its study, training, and qualification visa, aimed at individuals planning to enroll in licensed universities, institutes, or research entities within the country. Applicants must present a passport valid for at least six months at the time of application.

The visa is specifically tied to UAE-licensed institutions, which must hold official accreditation from relevant authorities. Once an entry permit is issued, the holder has 60 days to enter the UAE; if not traveled within that period, the permit lapses but can be extended under applicable rules.

The total cost for processing this visa includes an application fee of 100 AED, a visit visa issuance fee of 100 AED, and smart service fees of 100 AED, totaling 300 AED. Prospective students and researchers are advised to ensure their chosen institution is licensed before applying for the visa.
