Conditions, time and validity

  • The training/employing establishment must not be closed or suspended.
  • The job must not be prohibited for juvenile students (skill levels 1-2 and hazardous work are excluded).
  • The occupation must match the establishment's licensed activity.
  • The establishment's licence must be valid, with no violation that suspends its file.
  • The application is submitted by the establishment's authorised signatory.
  • The student must not hold another valid work permit.
  • If the student is under 18, the juvenile limits of the labour law apply: at most 6 actual working hours a day, no work between 7 pm and 7 am, no overtime and no work on rest days or official holidays (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Article 5).
Processing time
MOHRE: 2 working days once the application is complete.
Validity of the result
Three months.
Where it is applied for
MOHRE business service centres (Tasheel / Tawseel), the MOHRE website and the MOHRE app (UAE PASS of the authorised signatory). In Dubai the permit is often processed with the residence visa through the Work Bundle.

Steps at the authority

  1. Collect proof of studies, guardian consent (if under 18), medical certificate and school NOC (for training).
  2. Submit the student permit request and the signed contract.
  3. Pay AED 50; MOHRE issues a 3-month permit.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Ask the school or university for the NOC early; it is the document that usually takes longest.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • Missing school/university NOC for a training permit.
  • Prohibited or hazardous job for a minor.
  • Student's residence visa expired.

Questions and answers

Can a university student on a family visa do a summer internship?

Yes. The company applies for the student training and work permit (three months); the student needs a valid residence visa and, for training, a no-objection letter from the university.
