How many years of post-study work permit will I get in Dubai in UAE?
23 Jun 2026 · Answered by Gagandeep Singh · 1 min read
It depends. Dubai does not offer an automatic post-study work permit for international graduates.
- Job Seeker Visa: Lets you stay in the UAE for 60 - 120 days after graduation to look for work, if you graduated from a top 500 university (subject to change).
- Employment Visa: If you secure a job, your employer can sponsor you for a 2 - 3 year renewable work visa (subject to change).
- Green Visa: A self-sponsored 5-year visa for skilled professionals with a qualifying salary.
- Golden Visa: A 10-year visa for exceptional talents or high earners.
Visa rules and eligibility are subject to change. For next steps, discuss your options with your LeapScholar counsellor.
