What documents do I submit for my Dubai student visa if I have an education loan or scholarship?
If you use an education loan, you should submit the official sanction letter from the bank, and if you have a scholarship, submit the official scholarship letter showing the amount covered. You will also typically need recent bank statements for the last three to six months. Requirements vary by university.
If you are using an education loan, submit the official sanction letter issued by your bank or financial institution. If you have a scholarship, submit the official scholarship letter that clearly states what it covers. Requirements vary, so check them with your university.

Before You Submit
- Some universities may ask your sponsor for an affidavit confirming they will bear your tuition and living expenses.
- Make sure every document is recent, accurate and matches your university's requirements.
- Check whether your university wants originals, certified copies or translated versions.
My Advice
Collect your loan sanction letter or scholarship letter early, since these depend on third parties. Then match each document against your university's checklist so nothing delays your application.
