Dubai student visa types

A Dubai student visa is valid for one year, and it is renewable for a similar period. Your educational institute must provide proof of your continuation of studies to renew the visa.
Golden visa is provided by the UAE for foreign talents to live, work or study in the UAE while enjoying exclusive benefits such as the privilege of not needing a sponsor and a long-term, renewable residence visa valid for 5 or 10 years.
To be eligible for a Golden Visa, you must have the following:
- A passport that allows access to the UAE
- Copy of the residence permit issued by the issuing authority of Dubai
- A secondary school certificate from a public or private school with an overall score of no less than 95%
