What are the recent updates regarding visa and funding requirements for studying in Dubai?

Dubai continues to offer student visas for international students, with the main options being the regular student visa (1 year, renewable) and the Golden Visa (5 or 10 years for top academic performers). Most students are sponsored by their university, and you'll need to provide documents like your passport, admission letter, and proof of health insurance.

- Proof of funds is generally required to show you can cover tuition and living expenses, but the specific amount can vary.
- Visa processing usually takes 2 - 5 weeks, with some universities offering an express option (7 - 10 days).
- Post-study options include a jobseeker visit visa (60 - 120 days) and long-term residence visas like the Green Visa and Golden Visa.

Visa rules and financial requirements are subject to change. For next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for the latest guidance.
