UAE Students Get New Support for Overseas University Admissions and Visas

Students and families in the UAE planning to study abroad will have access to additional support for university selection, admissions and student visa processes through a new collaboration between VFS Education Services and UAE-based education payments platform Skiply.

Support From University Selection to Visa Applications

The initiative aims to bring several stages of overseas education planning together, including university and course selection, admission requirements, application preparation and visa guidance.

Students can receive counselling based on their academic background, career goals and preferred study destinations.

The service is also designed to help applicants understand documentation requirements and other steps involved in applying to international universities.

Visa and Application Guidance

VFS Education Services provides support for international student mobility, including document guidance, application assistance, document uploads and biometric appointment support.

However, final visa decisions remain with the relevant government authorities.

Early Planning Encouraged

Students and families are encouraged to begin overseas education planning early, as some universities have application deadlines months before final school results are announced.

Early preparation can allow students more time to research courses, organise documents and understand admission requirements.

More Options for UAE Students

The collaboration aims to provide UAE-based students with a more structured route to overseas education, covering university counselling, admissions support and visa guidance in one connected process.
