Hi,

Yes, you need to apply again for FLR (IED). When you change your job as a work permit holder, it is required by law that you should with all depedents apply for visa.

Hi,

Give a call to the work permit phone number. I did that recently for a similar case and the officer told me that now a days you can immediately start work with the new employer as your visa gets updated by the home office.
You would need to apply for the visa/flr before the existing one expires though... cause it is pretty much a boderline case.

This is the email response i got>>>
When your new employer makes the application for your new work permit, the Home Office will change your visa accordingly.

Could you tell em how long it took for the new employer to get the new work permit from the time the application was submitted ?

Cheers
