What are the visa and work permit conditions for studying in UAE compared to UK or Germany, especially regarding full-time or part-time work during studies?
All three countries allow part-time work during studies, but rules differ:
- UAE: You can work part-time (up to 20 hours/week during term, full-time in breaks) only with a special part-time work permit and a no-objection letter from your university. Full-time work requires switching to an employer-sponsored work visa.
- UK: You may work up to 20 hours/week during term and full-time during official vacations. Some job types (like self-employment) are not allowed.
- Germany: You can work up to 20 hours/week during the semester, or up to 120 full days (or 240 half days) per year. Full-time work is allowed during semester breaks.
Visa and work permit policies are subject to change, so always follow current regulations for your chosen country.
