Can I continue working remotely for my current company while studying abroad, and are there students doing this in Dubai in UAE?

Yes, you can continue working remotely for your current company while studying in Dubai. The UAE recognizes remote work for students, as long as you have employer approval and follow UAE regulations.

- Remote Work Visa: Dubai offers a Remote Work Visa (Virtual Working Programme) for foreign professionals with a minimum monthly income of USD 3,500.
- Student Status: Students can work remotely for employers outside the UAE if their university and visa conditions allow it.

Check with your university’s international student office to confirm their specific policies on remote work during your studies.
