To apply for a Dubai work visa, you first need a job offer from a Dubai-based company since they handle your sponsorship. After you sign the job contract, the employer starts the process by getting approval from MoHRE and a work permit, and later, they apply for an entry permit.  The UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) and the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) give you a clear understanding of the application process and requirements.
