Visa Services |
Laws in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) require all non-national students to
obtain a Student Visa for the duration of their studies. Middlesex University
Dubai provides Students Visas for applicants studying on a full-time basis on
all our academic programmes. Student Visas are arranged through the Dubai
Knowledge Village and are available to all international students as well as
domestic students over the age of 18 years.
Student visas are issued for a duration of 12 months at a time; hence an
undergraduate student may require 2 or 3 renewals during their course of study
at Middlesex University Dubai.
The procedure for applying for a Student Visa cannot commence until you have
accepted your Offer of Admission, cleared all academic conditions (if any) and
paid your tuition fees along with the Student Visa Charges outlined below. The
process normally takes 15-20 days and typically applications undergo a security
check by UAE government authorities (which may occasionally result in delays
beyond the control of Middlesex University Dubai). You are advised to apply as
early as possible if you require a Student Visa.
Student Visa Charges
The fees for Student Visa services are as follows:
| Visa Caution Deposit (payable only once) |
AED 7,000 |
Annual Visa Fee
(Note: This fee is set by Dubai Knowledge Village and is subject to change)
|
AED 3,260 |
Your Visa Caution Deposit will be refunded to you on successful completion of
your studies.
Applying for a Student Visa
Once you have accepted your Offer of Admission and have cleared all academic
conditions (if any), you should proceed to make your payment for tuition fees
along with the student visa annual fee and the visa caution deposit. Upon
receiving the full amount the University will apply for your Student Visa. For
