If I have an indefinite contract w/ my employer is my visa valid as long as I am employed or do I have to renew it periodocally i.e. every year or five years etc.

Thanks

I'm not sure that you can.

If my memory serves me correctly, you have to leave the country within so many days of the sponsorship and residence permit being cancelled.

No doubt if I am wrong, someone will correct me.

Hi All,

My contract with my employer and I am yet to secure another job. Can anyone help me with any information as to how to transfer my sponsorship until I am able to get another job.

Regards

Thanks for the helpful info!! Trying to think of everything so there will be less surprises down the line. I have a feeling I'll be using this forum quite a bit in the weeks to come :)

Cheers

Your employer will handle everything for the renewal. There's no need for any of the first-time formalities.

What is involved in renewing your resident visa, do you have to go through all the medicals and stuff again or is it just a matter of paying a fee and filling out the forms?

Thanks, the contract is with RasGas, so I imagine it will be for three years. Appreciate the quick replies.
