In addition to studying, another concern for children's shoes born in April this year may be how to find a part-time job, earn some living expenses, and practice their spoken English. Today, Xiaoyuchan will introduce you to some information about the part-time job of international students.
Part-time jobs
The Ministry of Justice of Japan has imposed strict restrictions on the number of part-time jobs and the types of part-time jobs that can be made by foreigners, depending on the type of visa (status of residence). Japanese law stipulates that "international students may not work more than 28 hours per week, and 40 hours during vacations." If you exceed the specified time and are found by the Immigration Bureau, your visa will be cancelled and you will be repatriated, so you must not overtime. Moreover, the student visa clearly stipulates that it is not possible to work in pornographic places and gambling establishments.
Language schools, Japanese language courses, vocational schools, junior colleges, faculties, graduate schools, and graduate students (audit students) who have a student visa can work part-time for a specified period of time if they apply for a student visa.
Documents required
International students who are working part-time in Japan must apply for a "Permit to Engage in Activities Other than those Permitted under the Status of Status of Residence Previously Granted" (commonly known as a part-time job permit), which is an important document that must be applied for before working part-time. Part-time work in Japan without obtaining a permit to engage in activities other than those permitted under the status of residence previously granted is a criminal offense called "illegal labor." Foreigners who are caught by the Ministry of Justice for illegal labor crimes are generally repatriated to their home countries.
Application method & fee: If you have a student visa and enter Japan for the first time, you can apply for a permit to engage in activities other than those permitted under the status of residence previously granted at the airport at the same time as applying for a residence card, or you can apply for a permit to engage in activities other than those permitted under the status of residence previously granted at the school after applying for a residence card. Both methods are available and do not require a fee.
Validity: Exactly the same as the validity period of your current visa.
Renewal: After the visa is renewed or changed, you will need to reapply for the "Permission to Engage in Activities Other than those Permitted under the Status of Residence Previously Granted".

The type of job that can be found
The most important thing to find a job is your Japanese language skills. If you don't speak Japanese but want to work part-time, you can find a job that requires some physical labor, such as factory, logistics, hotel cleaning, and Chinese cuisine. Japanese N3 N4 or so can choose chain restaurant jobs such as Matsuya, Izakaya, drugstore, don Quijote, convenience store, etc. Japanese N1 N2 can find some business business business side of the job, such as electrical appliance store, department store, Starbucks and so on. Unlike a part-time job, not all of them require a Japanese language certificate, but it is mainly based on the overall state of the interview and the ability to speak Japanese.
What to look out for during an interview
1.Be sure not to be late, check the station and location in advance! It's not good to arrive too early, it's better to arrive 10 minutes early. 2.Prepare your resume, be sure to have**, preferably in Japanese. 3.Bring your residence card, student ID, and chop. 4.Prepare a short introduction in Japanese and ask why you chose to apply for this job. 5.You must have a positive attitude and give the impression that you will work hard. 6.What he didn't hear clearly could make him say again once again once wished 7If you don't understand, you must be honest, and you must not pretend to understand if you don't understand. 8.Remember to use honorifics! Many Japanese people judge how good or bad your Japanese is by whether you speak honorifics or not. Also, be polite and bow when it's time to bow. 9.When we meet, first say introduce your name, Shen Yi, and say today at the end
Last but not least, remember that the purpose of going to Japan is to study, and most of the time will be spent studying, and part-time jobs are only to assist your life, not the center of your life.
