    change of sponsorship employment

    Hi all,

    I have got a question about changing of sponsorship.

    I am thinking about changing my job now and as all of you know, my visa is under my current company's sponsorship, and once I quit, they will inform the immigration department and my sponsorship will be invalid. Although I can still stay in Hong Kong till my visa expires, but I cannot take other employment.

    So my question is, when my next new company hires me, what should they do? Should they just call the immigration office to let them know? Or is there a form to submit? Or do we need to go through the whole application process from the beginning as what my current company did for me?

    Thank you very much!! I really appreciate it if you could help me with my question.

    You and your new employer will need to go through the whole process again.
    Yes your visa will be valid till it expires, even after you have stopped working for your current employer.
