To get the work visa you must have your degree or other academic qualification authenticated by a notary in your home country and stamped by the Embassy of United Arab Emirates (UAE) in your home country and final attestation from the Foreign Affairs department in UAE, the contract of employment, and of course, your original passport in order (make sure that have a validity of more than six months to enter the country).

To take no surprises consultation with the UAE Embassy in your home country or own embassy in the UAE (if you're already in UAE) will clear the doubts. www.dnrd.ae is the official website of Dubai Immigration department and the link will get you latest information about all visas.
