Hi there,
I have a question regarding the best time to switch from Work Permit to HSMP with respect to the easiest method of reaching 5 years.
I have only been here 6 months on a work permit which is valid for 3 years. I want to at some stage switch to HSMP as it give me greater freedom and potentially higher paying jobs. I don't however want to switch over too early and get caught in all these extension issues.
From your experiences would you suggest switching asap in the hope of higher salaries or would you advise doing a few years on a work permit to avoid extension hassles trying to get to 5 years?
Thank you in advance :)
