If in between jobs -- former employee need not be left out in the cold.

A Working Visa designates the name of the compay for which the Visa holder works, hence the Working Visa attaches exclusively to the company that submits the invitation on behalf of the employee to the Migration Service for approval. If the Working Visa-holding employee leaves the company designated on the Visa, then the Visa is technically invalid. HOWEVER, only the former employer would be privy to this fact -- visa or other authorities would not be made aware, which leaves former employee with room to manuver until the date on the Working Visa expires. During this interim period, former employee may arrange to remain in country by applying for a 90-day business visa, and once it expires, employee may again obtain another 90-day business visa -- this may be repeated indefinately.

Good luck,

RUSA

If you have a working Visa, the best for you is to find a job, while you are working in the old company and you have to be sure the new company should be able to face up with all your problems. So you need to be 100% sure, before leaving the old job, otherwise you are out.

Dear All,

I please need to have some info re. Working Visa: how does it work in case you have a working visa linked to a certain company and you decide to leave this company? How do you deal with a potential “gap period” before you find a new job?

Thanks a lot for getting back to me!
