Will I get a post-study work permit (PSW) in Dubai or other countries?
31 Jul 2026 · Answered by Geetha Muthu · 1 min read
Yes, both Dubai and Germany offer post-study work options (PSW) for international graduates, but the conditions and durations differ.
- Dubai: Graduates can apply for options like the Job Seeker Visa (60, 90, or 120 days), the self-sponsored Green Visa (5 years), or the Golden Visa (10 years), each with specific eligibility criteria.
- Germany: Graduates from recognized German universities can apply for an 18-month Job Seeker Visa to search for work related to their field and may transition to a long-term work permit or EU Blue Card after securing a qualifying job.
Visa rules and durations are subject to change.
