You should typically show a minimum bank balance of AED 30,000 - 50,000 for your UAE student visa application, covering both tuition and living expenses. Most institutions expect this amount to be maintained over the past 3 - 6 months.

Average monthly living expenses in the UAE are AED 4,000 - 6,000, depending on your city and lifestyle. Health insurance is also mandatory and should be included in your budget.

Visa financial requirements are subject to change.
