There are many expat students who work part-time in the UAE, and many part-time jobs advertised which are likely to suit students. But keep the following in mind... There was talk of allowing students in the UAE to be allowed to work part-time, but so far (as of May 2010) it appears that no official permission has been granted, except for Emirati students. Students on a family resident visa (sponsored by father, mother, husband, or wife) might be allowed to seek part-time employment. For example, the UOWD website says "Current labour laws of the UAE do not permit students on student visas from undertaking paid employment in any capacity" (last checked May 2010). However, UOWD also says students might be able to work if "student is working directly for the University of Wollongong in Dubai" or "student is working in a work placement directly linked to his / her studies". Similar rules probably apply at other universities and colleges in the UAE. Students at universities and colleges in the UAE might be able to find internships if their institute has made arrangements with a company or organisation. Internships are usually unpaid jobs though, and students would normally be expected to obtain permission from the institute where they are studying. Any foreign expat who is employed in the UAE needs to obtain a labour card (employment / work permit) from the UAE Ministry of Labour. Usually the employer arranges this for the employee. Emirati national students can work part time (or full-time) since Emirati citizens do not need residence visas or labour permits in the UAE. GCC national students might also be allowed to find employment in the UAE for the same reason. Minimum employment age in the UAE is 18 years of age (maybe 15 years for some jobs, unknown which ones.

ok , this person is not EMIRATI so please don't provide useless info. To put it simple. officially you CANNOT work on student visa. Some universities allow you to work ON CAMPUS but very limited and petty pay. Employers do hire students for promotions, etc. But please bear in mind it is risky, being caught will result in deportation to your home country.
