Hi Team, Please advise if a resignation acceptance or resignation confirmation is required to get a job in dubai, as I see a work permit is taking a long time. Can i get a job in 2 to 3 weeks when I come with a visitor visa to Dubai and then can i come and resign my job and sever 30 days notice and then join the job in Dubai.

It is not advised that expats arrive in Dubai without a secure job offer. To work in Dubai you need a work permit, which is arranged by your employer.
While you maybe able to come to Dubai and get a feel for the place and working environment. I wouldn't expect to find a job in 2 to 3 weeks.
You chances also depend on your skills and field of work. Nowadays for unskilled or mid-level employement, employers prefer to employ expats already resident in the country.
A letter of resignation from your job elsewhere is not usually a requirement for the work permit, but ask your employer in Dubai whether it is part of the company requirements.
