Visa to Study in Dubai
The process of applying for a Dubai student visa is quite simple as most of the things are taken care of by the institutions. The institutions have the authority to apply for the visa on behalf of the students and usually, the visa process takes around 20-25 working days.
The climate of Dubai, the most populous of the United Arab Emirates, is subtropical desert, with very mild or pleasantly warm winters, and scorching hot summers, in which the combination of temperature and humidity makes the heat really oppressive. In fact, in summer the wind usually blows directly from the sea, bringing moisture from the Persian Gulf.
The average temperature goes from 19.5 °C (67.5 °F) in January, to 36.5 °C (98 °F) in August.
The cost of studying in Dubai is lower compared to other Western countries, which means that international students can easily access the diversity of courses and academic programs in this country. However, the cost of living is high, almost equivalent to some major European countries. But the salaries can allow you to pay the expenses during your study time.
As an international student in Dubai, you can opt for various accommodation options such as staying on campus, renting an apartment, or sharing an apartment which can drastically reduce the cost of rent.
The rent and other expenses vary according to the location, which is why we advise our students to ask our consultants what the best option could be to live or investigate with different people who already reside there and can advise you. Groups on Facebook are very helpful.
