the only way to get a work permit in dubai is to get a job there. when u have been accepted for a job the immigration department will issue yr sponsor (employer) an entry visa for u to enter the country, once u are there they will take yr passport and other required info to the ministry of labour and immigration and a residence visa will be stamped in yr passport and a labour card (work permit) issued this card is kept by the employer. hope this helps.

You can not do it yourself... Some of the compamny In UAE has to appoint you and sponsor you for the job

1. search for a suitable job online 2. get hired 3. receive your employment visa to enter Dubai 4. company will apply for work permit on your behalf 5. company will apply for residence visa on your behalf. Please note, that it is illegal for recruitment agencies to charge job seekers. All costs (recruitment agency, your ticket, visa and labor related costs have to be on the employer). Below plese find recruitere and some other usefull tips: http://www.dubaifaqs.com/jobs-in-dubai.php http://www.startpagedubai.com/jobs.htm A Zimbabwean has the same chances as everybody else. But - you have to be aware that in the UAE the salaries are paid regarding the Nationalities. Therefore please do not be surprised that you may be paid less than and American or Brit. Good luck!

I think h has been very comprehensive; but I just want to note that people are being laid off right now in Dubai; so don't expect that it would be easy to find a job. It's darn hard.
