hi there,
Sharing timeline for my brother's study permit application for the Jan 2023 intake (non-SDS) from Kuwait (holding a Pakistani passport)
  • College applied for: Langara College, BC
  • Program: Computer Studies Diploma
  • Application submitted: 11th Oct 2022
  • Biometrics: 16th Oct 2022
  • No updates in between and we didn't enquire too as we were skeptical that the response won't come anytime soon (don't know when the eligibility of background was completed)
  • Correspondence letter: 16th November 2022
  • PPR: 16th November 2022 (Processing office: Abu Dhabi)
I'll be happy to answer questions if any :)

Why upfront medical? A medical exam is not required for UAE applicants if lived in UAE for more than 6 months. It is required only if requested during application review, which is rare.

I submitted my application through an agent and they lodged the visa in Colombo embassy. Sri lanka mostly they submit upfront medical. I wasn't aware its not necessary in UAE. So i did it anyway.

My mom and brother applied in march and we still havent heard anything! This is absurd
March 9: Application submitted
March 21: Biometrics received
currently under consideration and no updates since. We raised a couple of webforms and have not heard anything useful. What is the best course of action? Is this a problem specific just to the AbuDhabi office?

Hi,

I applied for Student permit (Comp Sc diploma) from KUWAIT too. My intake is Jan 23 and am still waiting for Student permit approval.
My question is, I am currently in Dubai for a few days, so should I wait here and submit my passport directly to VFS Abu Dhabi, so that I don't lose more time for courier of passport.

Hi, so it depends on the progress of your application. Did you recieve an update on your application and did the college ask you to defer or are they still waiting on your decision? Either way it doesnt take much time to transfer passport from Kuwait to Dubai.

Hi all,

I have submitted my study permit application for the UAE on 28th December. Biometrics completed and updated on Jan 3, 2023.

Any idea what is the current wait time for results?
