Transit visas are issued by a UAE-based airline and is usually used to enable a foreigner to legally stay in the UAE in a short period of time. An airline passenger transiting through the UAE airport is usually given this type of visa.

Student visa

Student visas are given to eligible college students who want to study in the UAE. Expat and international foreign students can apply for this type of visa.

Since November 2018, the UAE is now issuing a 5-year visa to outstanding students as well. If you meet the required grades and distinctions, you might be able to apply for this.
