    Change of employer when to apply for the visa

    Hi everyone.

    I am currently employed in a local kindergarten but I will change and I have found a new job in a kindergarten. As my contract and visa both end on the 31/07/18 (my new job will start in august )and my new school is willing to sponsor my visa, when do I have to apply for the new visa? which documents should I bring? do I have to apply between the 4 weeks before the visa expires or I can do it now as it's a new visa application?

    Thanks a lot

    I'm sure the new school will be handling it for you. Be patient.

    The new school should be handing the visa application. there is no limit on when you can apply for a new visa - the 4 week limit is for renewals only and yours is clearly not a renewal. Get your documentation ready and liaise with your new employer.
