Dubai is home to branch campuses of prestigious international universities from the UK, Australia, and the US. Studying here gives you a globally recognized degree without the high cost of living in the West. The UAE’s "Golden Visa" for outstanding students provides long-term residency options. With its strategic location connecting East and West, Dubai offers students incredible internship and networking opportunities.
For UAE residence visas, passing a medical fitness test is mandatory. There are no strict language tests like IELTS for general visas, but universities may require them. Smot Visa guides you through the medical screening process for communicable diseases, which is the primary condition for your residence permit. We help you schedule appointments at authorized health centers to ensure a smooth approval.
Dubai visa processing is incredibly fast. A standard tourist visa (30 or 60 days) is typically issued within 24 to 48 hours. Employment and residence entry permits take about 3 to 5 working days. Smot Visa offers an "Express" service for urgent travel needs, often securing approvals in just a few hours.
Tourist visas start from approximately AED 350 for 30 days. Residence visas depend on the sponsor and category (e.g., freelance, employment, or investor). A typical 2-year employment visa package costs between AED 3,000 to AED 7,000, covering government fees, medicals, and ID. Smot Visa provides a transparent quote with no hidden charges.
Strictly speaking, no. Working on a tourist visa is illegal and attracts heavy fines. However, you can use a tourist visa to attend job interviews. Once you secure a job, your employer must convert your status to an Employment Visa before you start working. Smot Visa can assist with this "Change of Status" process without you needing to leave the country.
