Anyone knows how does one get a working visa for Dubai?

Note that the words 'permit' and 'visa' are often mixed up. What's important to remember is that you need two separate permissions. One for working in Dubai and one for staying in Dubai. The permission to stay in Dubai is what's stamped in your passport (the visa), and the permission to work is a labor card (the permit - is a separate document).

Anyone working in a job in Dubai (and the UAE) who is not a UAE citizen must have a work visa / work permit / labor card (three names often used for the same thing, although "work visa" is easily confused with "employment visa" which is an entry visa, not a work permit). This is not the same as a residence visa which is stamped in your passport. The company will arrange the work permit for you. The company is responsible for all visa costs. Your employer will get your work and residence permits organized in a matter of days.

as long as you can find a company which will employ you and provide an employment permit. However the recruitment market is rather dull at the moment especially in urban planning/ development as many of the projects are delayed by a year or more. Dubai is not exactly an inexpensive place to live in, so do your homework well before landing here.

In order to obtain a visa, you require a sponsor, which is normally your employer if you’re working. If you’re visiting for a holiday or business, the hotel where you’re staying can act as your sponsor. you must send your travel itinerary and passport details by fax a few weeks in advance of your stay.
