What are your plans after completing your degree abroad—do you intend to stay and work there or return to India in Ireland/UAE for a Master's?
It depends on your career goals and personal preferences. Both Ireland and the UAE offer post-study work options for international graduates.
- Ireland: After a master's, you can stay and work for up to 24 months under the Stamp 1G (post-study work visa), allowing full-time employment without a separate permit.
- UAE: Options include an employer-sponsored work visa (2 - 3 years), a job seeker visa (up to 3 months for job search), the Green Visa (5 years for skilled professionals with a qualifying salary or freelance work), and the Golden Visa (10 years for top graduates). The UAE does not offer traditional permanent residency but has renewable long-term visas.
Returning to India is also a strong choice, as international experience is valued by employers and can boost your career prospects.
