Hi all,

I need to know about holding multiple work permits:
1. I have a BOWP valid until Jan-2016
2. My closed WP has been renewed this month and has expiry in Mar-2017

Is the BOWP still valid? coz I'm thinking of joining a new employer

Thanks Prasprime

before getting my new Closed WP, I had received my BOWP. If I leave my current job, the closed WP will in void.
My question is whether the BOWP is still valid? IF so, it'll allow me to get a new job

1. Your new closed work permit invalidates your BOWP.
