Hi all,
I have few queries regarding "Change of Employment and sponsorship transfer under HK GEP" for which I have been googling for last few days but couldn't find appropriate answers. I am planning to visit Immigration this Saturday anyway, but still would want to ask you people if someone already have experience regarding this and would like to answer, would be appreciated a lot.
- Who should take the initiative for this application? Me or my new employer?
- When should this application be made to Immigration? After my last day with current employer? or 1month before the last day at work?
- My new employer has told me that they can and will apply for this on the day I report and hence start working for them. They said they technically can't apply before I sign and join the company and I can start working for them from that day as the application will be under process. Is that correct?
- My "Employment Visa" is currently extended till Feb'2014, is it true that I can stay in Hong Kong till that date even if my current employer terminates the sponsorship and I can't find new sponsor?
- Do I/my new employer need to produce my "resignation letter" to Immi. Dept. while applying?
For information, my notice period with current employer is 3 months and new employer has agreed to wait for me.
