Can I transfer or vary a visa and permit

All visas and permits are granted with conditions. At the discretion of Immigration, your conditions may be varied on request if there is a good reason to do so. You can only vary conditions on the same kind of visa or permit (e.g. work permit, study permit).
You may not transfer to a new type of visa or permit. If you wish to change visa or permit types (e.g. go from a study to a work permit), you will need to apply for a whole new visa and permit relevant to your requirements.
