The UAE has a jobseeker visit visa for 60, 90 or 120 days for applicants meeting its skills or recent-graduate criteria. Graduation does not automatically confer long-term residence.

Fees, funding, and visa rules change. Confirm current terms with the university or the government source before you apply.
