Will my visa be available for how long after I complete my course in Dubai?

After you complete your course in Dubai, your student visa is not automatically extended for job searching. You may be eligible for a Job Seeker Visa that typically allows you to stay in the UAE for 60 to 120 days to find employment.
If you secure a job within this period, your employer can sponsor your employment visa. If not, you must leave the country to avoid penalties. Visa rules are subject to change.
How long can you stay and work after your master's?
Post-study work rules are changing. Know what you will actually get.
