International students in Japan on a “Student” visa for the purpose of study, as a rule, may not engage in any activity that involves receiving a payment. In many cases, however, international students have part-time jobs in their spare time to help cover their school fees and living expenses. Currently, about 70% of international students have a part-time job (JASSO survey).
If you wish to work part-time, you must receive permission to engage in activity other than that permitted under the current status of residence from the Immigration Services Agency, and ensure that your part-time job does not interfere with the original purpose of your stay under a “Student” visa – “Study” is your priority (except for on-campus tutoring activities).
Note that you are allowed to work for a maximum of 28 hours per week. During a vacation or breaks, you may work eight hours per day but still subject to the same restriction up to 28 hours per week.
There is no guarantee that you will find a job you are interested in, or that your application for a job will be successfully accepted. In consideration of costs associated with studying abroad, make your personal budget and financial planning prudently lest you rely too heavily on income from part-time work.
Refrain from working during the first three months of your arrival. Get settled into a new life in Japan and at the University, and discuss your plans and obtain permission from your research supervisor before starting a part-time job.
As a rule, international students on MEXT Scholarship may not do a part-time job, because they receive a sufficient scholarship amount to cover living expenses without need to work part-time.
