Understanding UAE Student Visa Rules for Part-Time Work

The UAE government encourages student involvement in the workforce to foster skill development. Under the student visa, you can work part-time up to 20 hours per week during the academic term and full-time during official holidays, such as summer breaks. This is ideal for Indian students who want to support themselves without compromising studies. Always ensure your employment complies with Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) guidelines—HTMi's career services team can guide you through the process to avoid any visa issues.

• Eligibility: Full-time enrolled students at recognized institutions like HTMi.
• Work Permit: No separate permit needed for on-campus jobs; off-campus requires employer sponsorship.
• Age Requirement: Minimum 18 years old.
• Tip for Indian Students: Update your passport and visa details promptly, as Dubai's proximity to India makes frequent travel easy for document renewals.
