Taking on a Part-time Job

Taking on a Part-time Job

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.

 Taking a Part-time Job

A word of advice

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.
