You should plan to arrange a significant amount upfront for studying abroad, including university deposit and visa fees. These costs vary by country and institution.

- University deposit: Typically ₹3 - 5 lakh for UAE universities, but this can differ by program.
- Visa fees: Generally AED 2,000 - 7,000 for the UAE, plus possible additional charges for medical tests, Emirates ID, and health insurance.
- Proof of funds: You may also need to show funds covering your first year’s tuition and living expenses.

These figures are approximate and subject to change based on your chosen university and program.
