Can I get a national id (Emirates ID) when I apply with the student visa?

No, students on a Speak English Institute student visa are not eligible for an Emirates ID. The Emirates ID is exclusively issued to UAE residents holding an employment, investor, or family-sponsored visa.

Alternative Option

If you enrol in our Internship Programme, you will be provided with an employment visa, which includes a local government ID (similar to an Emirates ID).
