No, a blocked account is not required for a Dubai student visa. Instead, you must show proof of sufficient funds - such as bank statements or sponsorship letters - to cover your tuition and living expenses.

Typical living expenses in Dubai range from AED 4,000 - 7,000/month (₹80,000 - ₹1.4 lakh), including accommodation, food, transport, utilities, and personal expenses. Annually, expect costs of AED 48,000 - 84,000 (₹9.6 - 17 lakh), depending on your lifestyle and housing.
