Long story short, I'd like to know if it is possible to hold my working holiday visa concurrently with a sponsored work visa.
Now the long story...
I have moved to Hong Kong with my partner (we're not married) about a month ago as he was offered a job here. I am still looking for work in my field. To make things easier, I applied for a working holiday visa before I left Australia, so that I could start a job immediately, and pick up temp or freelance work if needed, but ultimately I am looking to get a job that will sponsor me.
In the meantime, I have decided to get a TEFL qualification, and have some English teaching work lined up. This is my backup plan as it is NOT my area of expertise, but sponsorship is on the cards. Once I start teaching, I intend to keep looking for other work.
If I get a visa for the English teaching job, will my working holiday visa be cancelled? From interviews and conversations with recruiters, my ability to start straight away without waiting for a full work visa is an asset, and I don't want to lose it by getting a different visa. I would also like to keep my part time work options open, as the minimum hours required for teaching sponsorship is 17.
Thank you!
