Yes, you can gain work experience in the UAE as an international student, including receiving experience letters and pay slips, if you follow the country's regulations.
- You can work up to 20 hours per week during academic terms and full-time during official university breaks.
- You'll need a no-objection letter from your university and a part-time work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
- Employers can provide official experience letters and pay slips, which are important for your professional record.
Make sure all work and documentation comply with UAE laws and university policies.
