Yes, you can apply for an MBA student visa in both New Zealand and the UAE. Your 10 years of work experience will strengthen your MBA application, but it does not directly impact the visa process.

New Zealand:
- Secure an unconditional offer from a recognized institution. - Show proof of funds for tuition and living expenses. - Complete medical and police checks. - Apply online for the Fee Paying Student Visa (typical fee: NZD $850, subject to change). - Apply at least 3 months before your travel date.

UAE:
- Gain admission to a licensed university; they sponsor your visa. - Submit a valid passport, acceptance letter, financial proof, health insurance, and photos. - Complete a medical fitness test and biometric registration after arrival. - Receive an Emirates ID to finalize your visa.

Visa rules, fees, and timelines are subject to change.
