Part-time job?

Q: I’ve been working in a local company for years, being a holder of a valid Employment Permit. Can I leave for another company or have a part-time job with this Employment Permit if there is an offer?

A: No. According to relevant regulations, a foreigner can only work for the employer registered on the Employment Permit. The state of being employed by a second employer is illegal unless those employers are invested by a same investor. Therefore, the correct procedure of changing employer shall be as follows:

a) you shall resign from your employer according to the terms mentioned in your employment contract, and get agreement by the employer;

b) the new employer shall apply for the amendment of your Employment Permit and residence permit with relevant documents;

c) then you can start working for the new employer.
