The first thing you should know is that there are 2 parts to your study visa application, the first part is where you apply for an electronic travel permit at the embassy in your home country, and the second part is when you arrive at your destination where you will apply for your study visa for Dubai for the full duration of your studies.

To begin this process, it is essential that you are already clear about the programme you want to study, its duration and price. If you are still unclear about the educational offer available, we recommend you read our article on what to study in DubaiYou can also contact one of our advisors via WhatsApp.

Once you have chosen where you want to study, you have officially registered, selected your temporary accommodation and you have defined your travel date, you can start the consular procedures. But don't worry, this is a simple process and you will be accompanied by us at all times.
