Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Working in Dubai

hi, im indonesian. im thinking to move to dubai for job. i live previously in new york for 2 years. is being a student with student visa give a lot of advantage compare visit visa? i know student visa can extend 2 times even it cost more. for how long is it? does dubai have arabic language schools who can release a student visa? any information pls. the inexpensive one is better because my goal is for a job. thanks

To get a student visa you have to enrol at a registered school and pay the fees (in advance), student visa's DO NOT allow you to work in the country at all, if you are caught you would be deported and forfeit whatever fees you have paid.

The additional concerns would be that while as a student you would have to have sufficient funds to provide yourself with food, accommodation and spending money.
