colinchaffers Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hopefully an easy question, I'm applying for a credit card and had to send a copy of my work permit to the bank, they have just contacted me sayings its out of date, my understanding is that it remains current as long as I'm employed (by the company who organised the WP) and I have a valid NON-IMM B visa. They dont update the WP every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Work permits are issued for 1 or 2 years and have to be renewed even if you stay with the same employer. If you are working with an expired work permit you are working illegally and you and your employer can be penalised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyjim5 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Work permits need renewing how old is yours? Speak to your company because if you are working without a valid WP you are working illegally ......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardt1808 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If you have been renewing the WP every year, then why would you have a new Non-B Visa ? Normally, the process is that you request a one year extension of your old NonB, based on having a WP; then you have your WP extended accordingly. The dates on the WP should line up with your visa extension date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinchaffers Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Richard, you are right. These have been visa extensions and the WP was renewed at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baansgr Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The renwal stamps are in the next pages with registar stamp and valid until date, maybe the CC company are only looking at the first main page with photo and details which would show an expiry date of the first year you were employed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
