Do they (engineering company)need to have an "available visa" for me to "transfer my sponsorship" to them?

I'm a bit confused here and need some help from you guys. I was sponsored by this company for 5 years now and they allow me to work in another company. I haven't transferred my visa ever since I came / work here. Now, I'm currently working in an engineering company for almost 2 years now. But the company who sponsored me will be closed this end of December and for the first time they need to transfer my sponsorship immediately to my current engineering company. I already told my engineering company my situation and they give me a copy of the offer letter to give to my sponsored company so that he will give me NOC.

The question is: Do they (engineering company)need to have an "available visa" for me to "transfer my sponsorship" to them?

Can some one make it clear,its quite confusing,i am also not sure about it because majority of the people say that the new sponsor dont need to have a visa to sponsor some one infact they just have to transfer the sponsor ship to their name and thats it but i have also heard from some people that the new sponsor do need to have visa to sponsor some body and they have to apply for a visa but i dono what is the actual correct and authenticate scenario for this issue....

Yes, my friend the engineering company needs a visa for you to sponsor you. You were not sponsored by them. The current company will have to apply for a visa for you and it can take upto a month to get processed.

The companies need visas by nationality to sponsor specifc candidates.

I just got my RP renewed 2 days ago. My engineering company keep on insisting that they need a visa. But I already told them that I already have a visa, all i need is the transfer of my sponsorship to them. As far as I know, they will just fill up a form and give it to immigration then they will change my sponsor in my RP.

hayyyssss.....
