Are there any post-study work visa benefits in UAE after completing education?

Yes, the UAE offers several post-study work visa options for international graduates, including Indian students.

- Job Seeker Visa: Stay for 60 - 120 days after graduation to look for work. Typically requires graduation from a top 500 university and a financial guarantee.
- Green Visa: A self-sponsored 5-year residency for skilled workers and graduates with at least a Bachelor’s degree and meeting certain income or GPA criteria.
- Golden Visa: A 10-year residency for high-achieving graduates from top-ranked universities, usually with a GPA of 3.5 - 3.8 or higher.
- Standard Employment Visa: If you secure a full-time job, your employer can sponsor your work permit and residency. You must not start working until the permit is issued.

Visa rules and eligibility criteria are subject to change. Starting work without a valid permit is a criminal offense in the UAE. For guidance on your specific situation, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
