Designation and Visa Title

Dear All,

my situation is a little different and any advise / Help is really appriciated.

My Employer (yet to accept the job offer) is asking me to travel on a Driver Visa where as i am joining the company as a Manager. They are asking me to change the Visa Title after 6 months to Manager/Supervisor.

Does this have any adverse affect on my Employement/Residence Status/Family Status/Earning capability/employability at later stage etc....

any insights and advise is welcome ... please help....

Changing a visa may be a time taking process, and who knows, unwillingly you might end up paying for your own visa change! Not to mention other hidden matters perhaps...

Secondly, do note, if you are entering as a driver, on legal backgrounds, you might not be able to justify your salary. Your salary might not reflect your visa status, and perhaps warrant unnecessary questions etc. during money transfers / exchanges etc.

Company can change the visa title at any time,if they intent.

in my opinion below is the issues you will face because of driver visa:

1. For medical (residency purpose), you have to stay in long queue. For professionals there are VIP section. (since it is a one time process, not a big deal).

2. You will not be allowed to apply for Family visa. For visit visa, may not be an issue.
