Are there any imminent changes due in either Labour or Residency regulations.
The company PRO keeps saying the rules are going to change and only the select few know!!!
I have tried to find out what he is talking about and no one seems to know and he won't say.

Has anyone else heard whether the rules are due to change?

6 month ban might be removed but don't hold your breath. Could be tomorrow, next year, or never.

Property residence visa already changed to 6 month visit visa renewable

If you are waiting for visa and labour permit to be processed then could be that PRO is just saying that as an excuse because he hasn't done anything yet. Phone the labour department and complain if that's the case.
