Students:
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.
Visa Requirements
Student Visa Carges
The fees for Student Visa services are as follows:

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.
Documents required for Student Visa
The following documents are required for your Student Visa application:
- Student Visa Application Form (Student Entry Permit).
- Eight (8) passport size photographs taken with a white background
- Student Enrolment Contract.
- Signed Offer Letter (with no academic conditions)
- Four (4) photocopies your passport (including pages showing UAE visit visa or residence visa, if application is made locally)

- A copy of the receipt showing payment of full tuition and student visa charges.
In the unlikely event that your visa application is not successful, the Visa Caution Deposit will be refunded. The UAE government may retain the annual visa fee.
