You have several suitable country options for a master's degree, even with your age, education gap, and online degree, especially since you have 4 years of work experience:
• UK: Often accepts education gaps when supported by work experience. Accredited online degrees are usually recognized. The Graduate Visa allows up to 2 years of post-study work. This 2-year period applies to applications made before 1 January 2027; applications submitted on or after that date receive 18 months, while PhD graduates continue to receive 3 years.

UAE - Along with course full time work opportunities are provided , Distance learning degrees are accepted . with leass amount of tution fees and higher scholarship chancea degree can be completed and UAE provides you better job market for the course you are looking upto .

Visa rules and university policies are subject to change.
