You must request a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your college to work part-time in Dubai on a student visa.

First, ensure you are enrolled in a full-time degree program and have completed at least 12 months of study. Gather required documents such as your passport, student visa, Emirates ID, and proof of enrollment.

Apply for the NOC through your university’s student affairs or administration office - some may have specific forms or online portals. You may need to provide details about your prospective employer. Once your application is reviewed and approved, your university will issue the NOC.

With the NOC, your employer can apply for a part-time work permit. Regulations are subject to change and may vary by institution. For the latest process, contact your university’s student services.
