Life in the UAE
Your university sponsors your UAE Student Residence Visa, the permit that lets you live and study in the UAE for the length of your course.
While you study, you can work part-time through university-approved internships or work permits issued by local free zone authorities, like Dubai Knowledge Park. Note: exact work permit rules can vary slightly depending on which free zone your university sits in, so it's always worth checking with your university's career office directly.
The UAE doesn't have a separate post-study work visa, but the process after graduation is simple. Once you land a job offer, your employer sponsors your full work visa, letting you work full-time in the UAE.

I am happy that I chose Ahz for my study abroad plans, they provide the best guidance and help you get through each process smoothly. Thank you, Jince and Jinumol for your guidance and support.
Gopika-ArekkaraMy experience with Ahz Bangalore has been nothing short of exceptional. Their guidance has been crucial in securing a college seat and obtaining my visa, shaping my academic journey significantly. Much of my success is owed to the dedicated efforts of Kavyashree and Bhavya, my counselors, and Alwin, my visa counselor.
AthiraI had an excellent experience applying for my Master's degree with AHZ Associates. The team was not just friendly and sympathetic, but also very attentive to all of my requests. They guided me through each step of the application process, from choosing the right university to ensuring that all of my documentation was in place. Their professionalism and attention transformed a potentially difficult procedure into a smooth one. I must specifically thank my counsellor, Kavyashree, for her essential support and patience in resolving all of my concerns. I strongly recommend AHZ Associates to anyone seeking foreign education!
