(2)If the employment of a foreign national pursuant to an employment permit is terminated by the employer or the holder of the permit or otherwise, for whatever reason, ceases, the holder of the permit may secure—

(a)an employment that is the same type of employment for which the employment permit referred to insubsection (1) was granted, or

(b)a different employment to the one for which the employment permit referred to in subsection (1)was granted that—

(i)is specified in regulations under section 40as an employment for which a general employment permit may be granted, or

(ii)is not an employment that is specified in such regulations as an employment for which a general employment permit shall not be granted or that falls within a category of employment for which such an employment permit shall not be granted.

(3)A foreign national to whom this section applies shall notify the Minister of the dates of termination of the first employment concerned and of commencement of the second employment concerned, within a prescribed period and the notification shall be in such form and include such information as may be prescribed.".
