Hi,
I'm a UK citizen and I started contract with a school here in KL at the end of October 2016. I was granted my employment pass at the start of December. However, the school is terrible and I've found out that the last three teachers all quit.....I really need to leave as soon as possible, as life is pretty miserable at present...However, I've signed a long-term tenancy agreement, and I really can't afford to relocate after using all my savings to get here...I planned on this all working out and I stupidly didn't have a back-up plan if the job didn't work out.
Anyway, what I really need to know is:
1) If I leave the school can I cancel the employment pass, or would the school have to do this?
2) When the employment pass is cancelled do I have to leave the country immediately, or is there any way I can stay on? Can I switch to being on a 90 social pass, or won't they allow this?
3) If I leave the country and then try to get back in for the 90 days visa free (so I can try and find another job) am I likely to face problems at the border, due to the history of an employment pass?
4) Is there any kind of business visa I can apply for if I want to be a self-employed teacher here, rather than working at a school?
Many thanks for any help you can give,
Patrick
