It is advisable to apply now for an MBA abroad, given your 17 years of work experience and 30-year gap, as long as you can clearly explain how you have used this time.

Admissions teams in the UK, Australia, and UAE value significant professional experience and accept well-explained career breaks. Waiting is only recommended if you plan to gain more relevant experience or improve your English test scores.

For the best outcome, focus on presenting your gap and career story clearly in your application.
