You’ll qualify for a full-time work visa in Dubai if your job offer fits the UAE’s recognized skill levels, typically Skill Level 1 to 3:

- Skill Level 1: Requires a bachelor’s degree or higher (e.g., doctors, engineers, teachers, managers)
- Skill Level 2: Requires a diploma or equivalent (e.g., technicians, mechanics, real estate brokers)
- Skill Level 3: Requires secondary school or equivalent (e.g., sales executives, receptionists, clerks)

Employers in Dubai sponsor your visa and handle the application process, which includes medical tests and official approvals. Jobs below Skill Level 3 (semi-skilled or unskilled roles) are less likely to qualify for a full-time work visa.

If you need guidance on finding qualifying roles, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
