Can an employer sack me for applying elsewhere?

Specifically an immigration visa for another country which requires evidence from my employer as to status, salary, etc? Assuming there are no other grounds for termination, just a request for a letter of reference from an attorney or the embassy.

The worry I have is that the employer will no longer want me as he will know that I will no longer work for the company if the visa is issued - and if it's not, then I won't have a job.

UK/English law.

    You are probably protected by some ethical law or other.

    But wouldn't it be the person who is hiring you in the other country to supply that info for the VISA?

    They wouldn't care if your employed in you current country, but what are you doing in theirs.
