CHANGING YOUR EMPLOYER - A SUMMARY FOR INDIVIDUALS

In the UK you do not need permission to leave your employer and finish the employment though the authorities do like to be informed. You do need to make a new application through your new employer, as you cannot just switch jobs without permission.

You may have found new employment but need the help of an advisor to sort out the details of the application and in this case the Immigration Advisor can liaise with the employer, the authorities and you.

Sometimes the process can be more straightforward as the authorities will often have seen original references and these won't have to be supplied again. The job should generally be a similar job to the one granted on your work permit. It is always useful, but not essential, to see a copy of the original work permit for this application.

If you will be doing the same job for the same employer at a different address you will not need to make a new application but the authorities should be informed.

If you are an individual in the UK who has had a work permit before we can definitely help you if you are changing jobs.
