You need a new EP from each employer you work with. No EP of any category is transferable

This link explains rules, especially about cooling off

hi Gravitas,

thanks for the information
is there any exception for that cooling-off, i means in case my new salary can meet the requirement of type II or type III, can I stay and switch?
thanks so much
