Graduates in the UAE can explore several post-study work visa options. The most common is the UAE Golden Visa, offering 5-10 years residency for high-achieving students or those in high-demand fields. Alternatively, graduates may secure a standard employment visa sponsored by a UAE-based company, typically valid for 2-3 years.
Some free zones, like Dubai International Academic City, offer specific graduate visas allowing 1-2 years of stay for job hunting. Requirements often include a recognized degree, proof of financial means, and health insurance. Processing times and fees vary by emirate, so consulting the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship is advisable.
