Your HSC/degree certificates typically need attestation via the education board, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the UAE embassy before the university and visa authorities accept them. We give you the exact order for your documents.
Bank statements must be recent, correctly named, and show enough for tuition and living. We review your funds evidence before submission so a technicality doesn't cost you your intake.
Send your HSC results and budget. We'll shortlist universities you can get into, give the full cost in taka, and make sure your documents and proof of funds are right the first time.

You don't need full university tuition. Accredited Dubai colleges run English-language courses from 6 months that come with a student visa — from about USD 6,500 (≈ AED 24,000). It's the affordable way to live and study in Dubai, and a pathway to a diploma or degree later.
The facts below come from official UAE authorities and are dated. Rules change — always re-check the source before you apply.
A UAE student residence visa is issued for one year at a time, renewable on proof of continued study, and is sponsored by your accredited university or college (or by a UAE-resident parent). Entry permits and the Emirates ID are handled federally by ICP; residency in Dubai by GDRFA Dubai.

Private universities in Dubai and their programmes are licensed by KHDA (its UQAIB board vets international branch campuses); federal-system programmes are accredited by the CAA. Confirm your university and your specific programme are listed before you pay.

Your degree and certificates must be attested in Bangladesh (Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after your Education Board verifies the certificate), legalised by the UAE embassy, and then attested by MOFAIC inside the UAE. The UAE is not part of the Apostille Convention, so an apostille alone is not accepted — you need full legalisation.
