After one year of study in Dubai, how many months are allowed for job searching or what is the stay period post-study?

After completing your studies in Dubai, you can stay in the UAE for up to 120 days (about four months) on a Job Seeker Visa to search for employment.

If you secure a job, you can then move to an employer-sponsored employment visa. Other options like the Green Visa (five years, self-sponsored for skilled professionals) and Golden Visa (five or ten years for exceptional graduates) are available if you meet specific eligibility criteria.

Visa rules and durations are subject to change.
