Considering the current immigration situations I wouldn’t risk joining on receipt. If the company is Willing to wait till it’s get approved I would suggest to wait. As there is no PP it may take around 4-6months for the transfer.

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on getting to the same company but in a different country. I had an internship at multinational FMCG company in purchasing in country 1 (5 ys ago). I then went studying abroad to country 2 and stayed doing the jobs which came with the visa - sales/accounting/marketing but all for really small companies (20 e-s max). I keep dreaming about getting back to FMCG co but in country 2. Applied directly/chatted to ex coworkers in country 1 - no luck. Any advice?
