Hello,

First, I must know what kind is your labour contract with your company?

7 May 2019, 06:05

Limited contract.

You need to pay compensation of 1 month and a half if you want to breach the limited contract.

I have already completed 2 years with the company only that I have a few days left for my contract to expire.

So how do I go about it to go to another company?

You need to finish the contract until the end, otherwise, you need to pay compensation for your employer.

Yes, I will finish till the end but does it mean I will exit the country?

Isn't staying here whilst my visa has already expired a problem?
