Why not! Though having a work visa would be extremely useful. However, if you are selected for the position you may apply for it and the employer can assist you. This would delay the joining though.

You will have to submit you Passport copy, white background passport size picture along wiht you attested education certificate. Remember Education certificate is a mandatory document as you can get a better designation on your visa.

Yes, it is possible to apply for a job in Dubai without a work permit. However if you get the job, the company will process your employment visa . The employment visa is very important only after which you can work in Dubai.

It is. Provided that the Company you are applying in really needs your services. Once you get a Job Offer, securing a Work Permit becomes much easier.
