Good Day To Everyone!

I would just like to know if transferring Visa 20 to Visa 18 is still currently possible. If so, is there anyone who can help me and send me the complete procedure/requirements for doing the transfer?

Thank you in advance and GOD SPEED!

First of all you need to find a sponsor which is a private company who is willing to hire you , if they accept to hire you , then they need check how to transfer your visa 20 to 18.

Note : most of private companies wants employee who already has visa 18 , you need firstly to inform them that you are on visa 20.

Now who can accept you ?

Or : some companies or restaurants will agree to issue you 18 visa which is better than 20 but they may offer you a low salary because they know you do not have many choices.(be careful)

My advice : find a local company who is looking for your experience and skills , negotiate with them about salary and other benefits. Ask them to issue you 18 visa. If they can not transfer you directly , then they may ask you to leave and they will send send you the new 18 visa.

Regards,
