Dear Stephen,
How can I get the approval of the Immigration Department to change my Hong Kong employment visa sponsorship without my current employer learning about it?
I have a stable job in Hong Kong and am finalizing an offer with a potential new employer here.
Since there is always a risk of immigration refusal, and I don’t want to lose my current job if the change of employer application does not work out.
How to do this without my current employer knowing?
Basically the question is how to get the new employment visa arrangements approved by the Hong Kong Immigration Department before letting my current employer know about it?
Thanks a lot!
