I think you are very concerned about conditions
of your work such as payment etc., but here I will
explain the important points about changing jobs with
regard to your visa.
(1) Please obtain a certificate of your resignation
and a tax deduction certificate when you leave your
company. These are necessary for the visa procedure.
(2) In case the work that you will be engaged in
at your next job is different from the work you are
currently doing, please follow the procedure to apply
for a change to your status of residence before you
leave the company. You will be able to start working
after the change is accepted. It would be best for
you to sign an employment contract with your new employer
after gaining their consent on this issue.
(3) If the work you will undertake at your new employer
is the same as the work you currently do, needless
to say, you will have to apply for permission to extend
your term of residence before it expires. Furthermore,
if you still have some time left on your visa after
you move to a new company, it would be advisable for
you to apply for a certificate of work eligibility.
Provided you can obtain this permit, you will be able
to work for a new company with peace of mind, and
it will also make it easier for you to extend your
period of eligibility.
