Yes, you must show sufficient funds for a UAE student visa to cover tuition and living expenses. There is no fixed minimum, but it's generally expected you demonstrate funds for at least one year of tuition plus living costs.

- Living expenses: Around AED 3,600/year (subject to change)
- Accommodation: Typically AED 1,800 - 4,500/year

Accepted financial proof includes 3 - 6 months of recent, bank-certified statements in your name. If a sponsor is funding you, their documents and a sponsorship letter are also required.

Visa requirements and financial guidelines are subject to change.
