I'm on a life-partner permit in South Africa (received in June) with work endorsement which states I am allowed to work with my current employer. I need to leave this job for various reasons and have been for a few good interviews. I have tried calling the VSF office to see what the process is to change the work endorsement but they were very unhelpful, telling me I need to select an appropriate visa on their website and apply online. There is no mention on their website of changing work endorsement as far as I can see.
I have been told that it should just be a case of taking along a new offer of employment or contract to the VSF office and they will process the change in a few weeks, rather than applying for an entirely new visa. Does anyone know if this is the case, or what other documentation they would require in addition to a new job offer? And also how long the process will take?
Many thanks for your help.
