1.In accordance with the provisions of Article 53 of the Employment Service Act, if the foreigner employed by the employer needs to change employers or be employed by two or more employers within the effective period of the employment permit, the new employer shall apply for permit. When applying for change in employers, the new employer shall attach and submit the employment leave certificate of the employed foreigner.
