Is Dubai a good option currently for study and work visa given the political climate?
Yes, Dubai remains a strong option for study and work visas, with a stable political climate and active efforts to attract international talent.
- New student visas and scholarships have been introduced, aiming to provide jobs for 90% of graduates by 2033 (subject to change).
- Temporary suspensions have affected some visa types, like the freelance visa, for review and redesign.
- Hiring policies now encourage companies to increase workforce diversity, which could influence visa issuance for certain nationalities.
Overall, these changes do not significantly reduce Dubai’s appeal for international students and professionals. If you need guidance on current visa options or application steps, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
