I am ending my contract early-we have agreed on a date and replacement. The wrinkle is that I would plan on spending more time here. Will by visa be cancelled? If so, can I just leave and come back on a tourist visa? I do not plan on working while I stay here. Any information regarding what my options are would be appreciated.

How long are you talking about staying? The visa will normally be cancelled ... and you would then have a certain amount of time to leave ... Beyond that time one of the options would be leaving and coming back on a tourist visa ...

If you or your boss go to immigration and notify them that you have quit you will have 30 days to exit the country.

You can return immediately on a tourist stamp.

You can apply for a new job and get a work visa after your return as long as you can meet the new requirements.

Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure if I needed to notify immigration or not. What happens if I don't notify immigration and the school does not notify them either? Does my current visa stay in effect?
