The UAE is tolerant and diverse but expects respect for Islamic values. Modest dressing, public behavior, and legal awareness are important for international students.
Generally, international students on a student visa cannot sponsor their spouse. Only individuals with a valid UAE residence visa and minimum income can sponsor their family members.
The UAE does not offer traditional permanent residency (PR) like some Western countries. However, it provides long-term residence visas, such as the Golden Visa (5 or 10 years), which offer similar benefits.
