to clarify the situation:

i will hand in my resignation letter on tuesday so my last working day would be 31 january (new year holiday anyways). Actually i am still befriended with my company and they dont expect that i quit (i guess) but i dont know how they react, so i m worried they kick me out immediately after i quit (i dont really care of personal reasons, but i do care if that troubles my visa due to the fact that i start the new job 1 month later and not immediately)

so what i need is:

-release letter (how does that look like? my company only has 2 foreigners and i m sure i m the first who leaves there

-recommendation letter, do need it for the new visa or just for personal stuff? I am afraid they are pissed and write only bad things...

-canceled copy of my red book, i guess i have to give the book to my company and they will go to psb or whatever, but if they do that after my last working day i have no chance in getting the copy because i will move to another province. So how is the procedure there?

-my degree, so i have to hand in all these stuff after i already started to work for the new company or do i have to do that during january when i start working in febuary?

thanks for the help so far

Does your company know your leaving? If they are ok with this then the process is very easy. You can kind of transfer your old visa into a new one relativly simply, then a copy of degree is ok and you dont need to leave the country. It took me just 7 days.

But if you screwing your current job over, then its not easy. If your not a teacher then they probably dont know how to screw you over like teachers get. Most non teaching positions ive seen just want you gone if you dont wanna be there.

Youll grt your current visa stuff cancelled and have to start again, but you still shouldnt have to leave as your not changing types of visas.

Whatever u do, dont get a business or travel visa in the meantime to sort yourself out. Then your definatly going back.

If your present Co. didn't 'break the Contract', you should quit with Resignation notice. You must respect that, because your employee can deny issuing RL and other documents necessary to extend your RP (if you just walk away).

If you respect your present Contract, your old employer must submit in 30 days after your last working day, all necessary documents for RP extension.

If present employer cause you any troubles, you can turn to SAFEA for help.

First renewal of RP (changing employer), then holidays with new employer.

I'll make it simple for you:

What you'll need:

1. A release letter & Recommendation letter..

2. Canceled copy of your working permit.. (Little red book)

3. Your Degree, the original one, not a copy.

Next, the rest is up to your new company..

It's that simple. Good luck
