Hi,

It's been a while but my working visa has finally been approved and is waiting for me at the immigration bureau. I have made an agreement with my English school that I will work for them for six months before looking for work as a graphic designer – which is what I really want to do.

As language teaching and design both fall in to the humanities visa category I should in theory be able to change jobs on the same visa. However, the English school have said that if I leave I will have to give up the visa and re-apply.

Their reason was that they will be liable for tax even though I will no longer be working for them (sounds fishy).

Are they able to make me give up the visa? Can they in theory revoke it?

Also, what is the process for changing jobs? Do you just inform immigration?

Any advice will be much appreciated.

:-)
