Changing my employer...

[Mariathehappiest]

Hi all! I started my work at private small school in December, 2017, but sooner found better offer and conditions of work. Want to resign and change the employer. I have a single entry non b visa(not extension to stay), valid through 12.8.17-03.08.18. Also, work permit. The question is, how to change the employer without big expenses and stress? Just obtaining new wp from new school and apply for extension to stay afterwards? Thank you.

If your non-b visa shows the school that supported your application you will have a problem getting an extension and possibley the work permit application done. If you leave the current job on a friendly basis immigration may accept a letter from them allowing you to get an extension.

In order for you get another work permit for the new school your existing one will need to be canceled.

In the long run it may be best to resign from your current school and then with supporting documents from the new school to go out for a new non-b visa.

Thank you for reply! I wonder now about visa. Where should I be meanwhile? For example, I resign on 6 th of Feb, my visa expires on 7th of March. A lot of people told that if I have 90 days visa, then employer can't cancel it.

Your 90 day will be remain valid. It is not lost when you leave your job.
