Why students choose Arrivo?

Studying abroad doesn’t fail because of ambition.
It fails because no one prepares students for what actually happens after the offer letter.

Most students think the hardest part is getting admission.
In reality, the real challenges begin right before departure, at the airport and especially after arrival in the UAE.

The Real Problems Students Face

Before Departure
Students are overwhelmed with paperwork they don’t fully understand visa documents, immigration rules, forex decisions, flight logistics and unclear budgeting for life in the UAE. Many land in Dubai without knowing:

• How much money they’ll realistically spend

• What documents will be asked at immigration

• How UAE laws, culture, and student responsibilities actually work

• Where they’ll eat, stay, or who they can trust

This uncertainty leads to anxiety, poor decisions and avoidable mistakes even before the journey begins.

On Arrival
The first 72 hours in a new country are the most critical and the most unsupported. Students often arrive exhausted, confused and alone facing:

• No airport support or guidance

• Temporary or low-quality accommodation

• No idea how to commute to university

• Language, cultural and lifestyle shocks

• Fear of being overcharged or misled

What should feel exciting often turns stressful.

After Arrival
This is where most support systems disappear. Students struggle with:

• Setting up UAE PASS, Emirates ID, bank accounts, utilities and Ejari

• Finding reliable food, groceries, laundry and daily essentials

• Understanding local job markets and CV expectations

• Feeling isolated with no real student or alumni network

• Managing emergencies, wellbeing, or unexpected situations

Without proper guidance, students waste time, money and emotional energy, sometimes even questioning their decision to move abroad.

How Arrivo Is Different

Arrivo is not just a service.
It’s an ecosystem designed around the student's entire UAE journey.

We support students before departure, at arrival and long after they settle, covering every gap traditional consultants leave behind.

From pre-departure counselling, visa and immigration preparation, budgeting workshops, accommodation planning and cultural orientation, to airport escort, welcome kits, legal guidance, grocery runs, commute setup and finally post-arrival essentials like UAE PASS, banking, utilities, job strategies and social integration, everything is structured, intentional and student-first.

We understand the UAE not as tourists but as operators who know how life really works here.
