Working Guidance and Regulation

Working while studying can be a great way to gain practical experience, earn some extra money, and enhance your employability. However, it's essential to understand the working regulations for international students in your study destination. Below, we've outlined the working guidance for students in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) and the United Kingdom.

United Arab Emirates 

As an international student in Dubai, you can apply for a part-time work permit which allows you to work up to 20 hours per week during term-time and full-time (up to 40 hours per week) during holidays. However, these permits are subject to certain conditions:

1. You must be enrolled in an accredited educational institute in Dubai.
2. Your employer must apply for the permit on your behalf. It's important to note that the permit is only valid for the duration of your employment contract.
3. You must obtain written consent from your academic institution.

Please be aware that working without a permit is illegal and can result in severe penalties.

United Kingdom

In the UK, the rules around working while studying depend on the type of student visa you hold.

1. Tier 4 (General) Student Visa: If you have a Tier 4 (General) student visa, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term-time and full-time during holidays. However, the exact number of hours you can work will depend on the course level you're studying and the type of sponsor you have.
2. Student Visa: If you're studying at a degree level or above at a higher education institution, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term-time and full-time during holidays.

In both cases, your passport sticker or identity card will state the maximum number of hours you can work each week during term time.

Remember, you cannot be self-employed, engage in business activities, or fill a full-time, permanent vacancy. Always verify your work permissions and any changes in the regulations with the UK Home Office and your university before starting employment.

Please note that these are general guidelines and can change at any time. Always check the latest updates from the respective official government websites for accurate information.
