 Posted: Fri Jul 26, 2013 2:55 am Post subject: The Westgate Visa |
 |
|
Hi....
Considering a move to Asia again and was looking into Westgate. Since the visa they give you is a "Professor" visa or something like that, is it difficult to switch the visa after the short 3 month contract so you can obtain a new job elsewhere in the country?
Thanks!! |

Assuming that the visa is still valid, you just need to get permission to work outside of your visa category (rather than change to a different visa type). You need to fill out an "Application for Permission to Engage in Activity other than that Permitted under the Status of Residence Previously Granted" (or AFPTEIAOTTPUTSORPG, for short  ). Never done it myself, but I've heard it's pretty painless.
