Hamilton-Brown made a move in the opposite direction in 2007 when he left the Brit Oval for Hove.
But he could now be offered the position of first-team captain back at Surrey, despite Sussex's overtures of wanting to keep the talented 22-year-old.
Sussex chairman Jim May said: 'The position of Sussex remains unchanged in that we have no wish to see a player of Rory's potential leave the club and our immediate aim is to agree an extended contract with him.
'However, we recognise that to achieve this aim it is appropriate to give Rory time to talk to Surrey about their opportunity.
'At this stage, the club has granted permission to talk only.
'We remain strongly of the view that Rory's cricket development is best served by remaining at Sussex and we will be meeting him subsequent to his meetings with Surrey to discuss matters further.'
In a short statement, Surrey confirmed the news and said they are 'extremely grateful to Sussex for granting us permission to talk with Rory'.
