Student's visa
PRO provides essential assistance and support to international students to help them better adapt to life at Skyline. Among its many tasks is to help international students comply with immigration regulations during their time at the university.
New International Students with no UAE residence permit
Once an international student is accepted by SUC, the Marketing department sends the Student Visa Request Form to administration, which must be submitted along with one passport copy and eight passport-size photographs. Administration department after checking the documents forward the application to HRD/PRO. PRO then applies for the student's residence visa through the Department of Immigration in Sharjah. After the visa has been issued, the HRD sends intimation to Marketing along with scanned copy of visa. Marketing department will forward the scanned copy to student via email or fax.
