Can you tell me about work and study options in Dubai and how they differ from other countries?
Dubai offers post-study work options, but they differ from countries like the UK and Ireland.
- Job Seeker Visa: Allows graduates to stay in Dubai for 60, 90, or 120 days to search for a job without employer sponsorship.
- Green Visa: A 5-year visa for skilled workers who secure a job with a minimum monthly salary (currently AED 15,000; subject to change).
- Golden Visa: A 10-year visa for graduates with a high GPA (3.5+) from a Tier A university.
In comparison, the UK and Ireland offer a PSW (post-study work visa) that lets graduates work for 2 years after their degree, often with a clearer path to permanent residency. Dubai’s options typically require you to secure employment and may not lead as directly to permanent residency.
